Salmon Bella Donna

I saw this prepared on a local news show by a local restaurant chef. Tasting is believing!

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 4  fresh salmon fillets
• 2  tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 8  medium shrimp, uncooked, de-veined and cleaned (I left the tail on)
• 2  garlic cloves, minced
•  all-purpose flour, for dusting
• 1⁄4 cup  good vodka
• 1 1⁄2 cups heavy cream
• 1⁄2 cup parmesan cheese (better if you shred it)
• 1  pinch nutmeg
•  salt
•  cracked pepper (to taste)

Directions

1. Season the salmon filets with salt and pepper and dredge in flour lightly.
2. Heat a large saute pan and a good drizzle of olive oil to medium heat.
3. Add the filets when the oil is hot and saute' for 3 minutes on each side.
4. Add the vodka, garlic, nutmeg and shrimp to the pan and stir.
5. Now add the cream and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes until cooked through.
6. Finish the sauce with the parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
7. I served this with fresh garlic asparagus and dinner salad. Next time I may serve the filets over pasta. If you like salmon and creamy sauce this recipe will not disappoint. Yum.
