ingredients
- 12 ounces salmon fillets
- 1⁄4 cup dry sherry or 1/4 cup dry vermouth
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3⁄4 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1⁄4 lb cooked shrimp (peeled)
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, minced or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, minced or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
- 8 sprigs fresh rosemary (for garnish)
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Pat salmon dry. Place in the pan, and add the sherry or vermouth (or dry white wine if you insist).
- Bake salmon at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until the fish is opaque and flakes easily when tested with a fork, 15-20 minutes. (Alternatively, we have successfully poached the fish in the microwave, check for flakiness at 6 minutes.).
- In a medium nonstick saucepan, heat olive oil, and melt butter. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute.
- Gradually stir in the broth and lemon juice. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens, 2-3 minutes.
- To the saucepan add the shrimp, oregano, rosemary and pepper. Cook, stirring as needed, until heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Place the salmon on a platter.
- Pour the juices from the salmon baking pan into the sauce. Cook, stirring as needed, until heated through, about 1 minute.
- Pour the sauce over the salmon and serve. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs.

I made this exactly as written but when I tasted the sauce I found it a tad bland. I added the zest from the lemon I used, a pinch of salt and a healthy shake of garlic powder. I really liked how easy and tasty this was. Next time I may season the salmon with the cajun seasoning as another suggested. I will make this again! Thanks for sharing.

Made this to serve 3 of us (along with a breaded sea scallops recipe) & it worked out great, what with the variety of satisfying seafood! Loved this way of preparing salmon (& the shrimp, too, for that matter) & thought the flavor combo of the sherry, rosemary & oregano was wonderful! Definitely a recipe keeper! Thanks for sharing it!

Kate, this was fabulous! We thought this was the type of seafood dish you'd find in a top-rated east coast seafood house. I can't believe this is a weight watcher's recipe! The sauce was perfectly balanced with just the right amount of lemon and herbs. I used the dry white wine option because that's what I had here. I added a healthy sprinkling of granulated garlic powder, a little salt and I also sprinkled my salmon with some cajun seasoning when I baked it. So glad I chose this for 123 Hit Wonders game.

We really enjoyed this dish, although we felt there was something missing. Not sure what, but some sort of spice. I had really big hopes for this recipe. What with salmon and shrimp combined what could go wrong. I used the dry vermouth and the dry herbs. You do need some salt. I might even throw in some cream cheese while the shrimp sauce is cooking. Just is missing the Wow! But overall a great WW dish. Thanks KateL for posting.
