• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 11
• 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.

Rave reviews all around! I didn't have parmesan cheese so I added romano cheese instead. I also added sliced orange pepper and chopped green onion to the sauce and served it over pasta. The sauce was delicious - very creamy! Will definitely make this again.

This is sooooooo, soooooo very good!! I used fresh caught king salmon which made the flavor even better. The sauce is absolutely divine and goes so well with the taste of salmon. I served this with asparagus, salad, and artichoke and spinach dip for an appetizer. To make it fine dining, I added a bottle of Pinot Noir.My guests were nearly orgasmic!
