Garlic Herb Shrimp & Salmon Bake
An easy one-pan baked shrimp and salmon recipe that goes well with anything. I paired it with rice and peas. This is not the healthiest option as it uses butter, however you can substitute with olive oil or coconut oil for a low fat version.
In a medium baking pan, add your butter, garlic, fresh thyme and parsley and sugar.
Place pan into the oven at (200C/392F) until the butter is melted and flavoured by the garlic and herbs.
Season the salmon and shrimp with the dried seasonings ( paprika, fish seasoning, pepper) and prepare for the oven.
Place your salmon and shrimp into the pan coating them with the butter mixture.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over them and add in the fresh thyme and parsley then place back into the oven.
Bake for about 15 minutes or until salmon and shrimp are golden brown.
Make sure you baste them periodically to ensure they stay moist and absorb the garlic butter flavour.
Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
This recipe is very confusing. When you say “leftover butter ” what do you mean because recipe never mentions butter until it says leftover . Can you please clarify ?
Thanks for reading one of my first recipes! this was created in 2020 and never updated so thanks! the Directions have been updated and should be a lot clearer now. xo
What temperature do you set the oven?
you can place it on 160C/350F or slightly higher. Just enough to melt the butter. hope this helped!
Hi, thanks for the recipe! Am I missing the oven temperature somewhere? Just hoping to get some guidance on that! Thanks!
Hello! thanks for your question and comment. this was one of my first recipies so Ive now updated it to reflect temps and more details. place the oven on 200C/392F for a good cooking temperature. Hope this helps!
Lack of editing big time.
1. What temperature to set the oven?
2. Never mentions when to add fish sauce, paprika, pepper, etc.
I had my oven set at 400, & I added the fish sauce to the melted butter mixture before putting in the salmon/shrimp. I mixed dry seasonings & sprinkled on top of salmon & shrimp.
thanks for your comment. its one of the first recipes i posted so ill updated it to reflect your questions. Im so glad you put your own spin and knowledge into it. im sure your method was amazing! thank you!
When do you add the oregano, basil, and sugar?
Thanks for reading. Its in the beginning of making the dish. Add in with the butter for enhanced flavour. x
Substituting olive oil for butter does not make it low fat. It makes it vegan and or lower in cholesterol.
thanks for reading and your info.
Sounds great, how much sugar? Thank you!
Hiya, thanks for your comment. A pinch in measurements is around 1/8th of a teaspon. not much at all. Hope that helps. x
