This simple recipe pairs deliciously with our 2019 Sauvignon Blanc. With temperatures in the 70s and 80s, summer is just around the corner, light, crisp Sauvignon Blanc is our wine of choice for this shrimp and salmon delicacy. Local corn on the cob is in the produce aisle, a perfect meal with wild rice from California’s Lundberg Family Farms, let’s keep it fresh and keep it local. ~ Connie Vandevanter
4 salmon fillets
1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled and de-veined
4 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
Garlic Dijon Sauce
8 tablespoons butter, melted 1 stick or 1/2 cup
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup Sauvignon Blanc
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
2 teaspoons whole grain dijon mustard
3 teaspoons minced garlic
salt and pepper, to taste I used about 1/8 teaspoon each
1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill
Instructions
Cut 4 12×12 inch pieces of foil and set aside. Drizzle salmon with olive oil, rub over whole surface, then season with salt, pepper, and half of the Italian seasoning dried herbs. Repeat process with the shrimp.
To make the sauce, stir together all ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
Assemble foil packs by placing salmon in the middle, topped with 3-4 shrimp. Drizzle HALF of the sauce over the shrimp and salmon, RESERVE the other half for using later. Fold foil over the shrimp and salmon and pinch edges to seal closed so no juices leak.
Grill foil packs over medium-high heat, or in a 425 degree oven, salmon-side down for 10 minutes, then flip and cook another 5 minutes or so until shrimp is opaque and salmon is cooked through and flaky.
Drizzle with the reserved sauce (you may need to microwave it for a few seconds first if the butter has cooled) and top with additional fresh chopped dill if desired and serve.
