Enhance the Salmon Flavor:
- Use high-quality, fresh salmon fillets.
- Marinate the salmon in a flavorful solution of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Add a touch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the marinade for a smoky or spicy kick.
Elevate the Shrimp:
- Choose large, juicy shrimp.
- Season the shrimp with a blend of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the shrimp quickly in a separate pan with a knob of butter until they turn pink and opaque.
Refine the Bacon Butter Sauce:
- Use crispy, flavorful bacon for a more intense bacon flavor.
- Add a splash of white wine or lemon juice to the butter sauce for acidity and brightness.
- Stir in fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra freshness.
- If desired, thicken the sauce with a bit of cornstarch or flour.
Add Extra Vegetables:
- Sauté sliced onions or peppers along with the shrimp for additional texture and flavor.
- Roast asparagus or broccoli on the side as a healthy and vibrant accompaniment.
Presentation and Garnish:
- Arrange the salmon, shrimp, and sauce on a bed of mashed potatoes or rice for a visually appealing presentation.
- Garnish with fresh lemon slices, parsley sprigs, or a drizzle of olive oil.
- Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Other Tips:
- If you don’t have a bacon-wrapped butter, you can cook bacon separately and crumble it over the salmon and shrimp.
- Use a high-heat resistant skillet for searing the salmon to get a nice golden crust.
- Don’t overcook the salmon, as it will become dry. Cook until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
