3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
-
1 tablespoon butter (for cooking)

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Garlic Butter Rice:

Salt, to taste
Instructions
-
For the Garlic Butter Rice:
-
In a medium pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Add rice to the pot and stir to coat it in the butter and garlic.
-
Pour in the chicken broth (or water) and add salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.
For the Honey Garlic Salmon & Shrimp:
-
In a small bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic.
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil and butter.
-
Season the salmon fillets and shrimp with salt and pepper.
-
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until they turn pink and opaque.
-
Reduce the heat and pour the honey garlic sauce over the salmon and shrimp, tossing to coat and simmering for another 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
-
Serve the salmon and shrimp over the garlic butter rice, and garnish with fresh parsley.
-
Notes
-
You can use any type of rice you prefer, but jasmine rice pairs wonderfully with the garlic butter sauce.
-
For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the honey garlic sauce.
-
Make sure to not overcook the shrimp. It cooks very quickly!
-
If you don’t have soy sauce, you can substitute with coconut aminos for a gluten-free option.
