Creamy Garlic Salmon and Shrimp is one of my all-time favorite weeknight meals. Made with tons of garlic, spinach, and cream in under 30 minutes!

I love easy salmon recipes including Pan Seared Lemon Butter Salmon and Creamy Lemon Salmon!

Probably the easiest creamy garlic salmon and shrimp recipe you’ll ever make! Restaurant quality meal that also happens to be my all-time favorite salmon recipe.

Whether you’re on the lookout for a quick and simple meal or a meal that will impress your entire family, this is the recipe you want to try! I love serving this creamy salmon and shrimp over jasmine rice or creamy mashed potatoes.

Although some fettuccine would be marvelous as well! Go ahead and add as many veggies as you’d like. Mushrooms, green peas, and zucchini would make great additions.

    Hello! This turned out so amazing. It was so yummy! I didn’t have white wine so I substituted chicken broth which worked out just fine. My husband said it was restaurant quality! I will definitely be making this again.

  2. This was my first time ever cooking Salmon. The Recipe was easy to follow.
    Holy cow. This was delicious. My husband was blown away and said he was VERY impressed. I took the suggestion from another lady who said pair with fettuccine alfrado. I made my own alfrado and oh my word. FANTASTIC. Thanks for the recipe.

  3. Hello!
    After finding this recipe and reading the review, I am going to make this for my daughter and myself tomorrow! I will be back with my own review. Thanks!

  4. This has been the best Salmon and shrimp we have had in a long time. Thank you for the recipe. We love to try new thing .

    By far, the best new recipe I’ve tried this decade. This was beyond all expectations, and now my guests think I’m some kind of brilliant cook. Good grief, I can never have them over for a meal again! Seriously, my teenage grandson and I made this together as part of our weekly “cooking with grandma” date, and it was so flavorful that even people who confessed they dislike seafood were raving about how good it is. I too added mushrooms and they were delicious. Otherwise, I didn’t — and wouldn’t — change a thing.

    1. This comment made my day Joan! Thank you so much for the feedback. I’m thrilled you and your family enjoyed it so much 🙂

    I was looking for another way to cook salmon. So I Googled salmon recipes and this popped up. OMG!!! Can I just let you know how AMAZING it turned out?!?!?! So full of flavor. I followed the recipe step by step. My daughter said it reminded her of a meal she had at Legal Seafood. Imagine that! 🙂 I have definitely added this to my recipe book and will make over and over again. Thanks for sharing!
