Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 salmon fillets
- ½ lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Marinade and Seasonings:
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Cooking and Rice Components:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Combine 3 tablespoons honey, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, and ½ teaspoon black pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour marinade over salmon fillets and shrimp. Let sit for 15 minutes at room temperature to absorb flavors.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat (350°F). Add 3 minced garlic cloves and saute for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add 1 cup jasmine rice to the garlic butter. Toast rice for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Pour 2 cups chicken broth into rice pan. Season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring rice to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for exactly 15 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat (375°F). Place salmon fillets skin-side down.
- Cook salmon for 4-5 minutes without moving. Flip and cook additional 3 minutes, basting with half the reserved marinade.
- Remove salmon from skillet. Add 1 tablespoon butter to same pan.
- Cook shrimp for 2 minutes per side in the butter. Pour remaining marinade over shrimp.
- Plate rice first, then arrange salmon and shrimp on top. Drizzle any remaining sauce.
- Sprinkle ¼ cup fresh chopped parsley over the dish for garnish.
Notes
- Marinate seafood for maximum flavor absorption, letting the honey-garlic mixture penetrate deeply into salmon and shrimp.
- Use fresh garlic for the most robust taste and avoid burning it during sautéing by keeping heat at medium and stirring constantly.
- Choose skin-on salmon fillets for a crispy exterior and ensure your skillet is hot before adding fish to create a beautiful golden sear.
- Replace chicken broth with vegetable broth for a vegetarian rice option, and swap salmon and shrimp with tofu or plant-based protein alternatives for dietary flexibility.
