Salmon Roasted with Shrimp and Garlic

Shrimp, garlic and butter; the quintessential combination.  Pair it with salmon and you have that classic seafood restaurant allure.
2 lb salmon fillet, cut into 6 portions
1 tsp dried dill weed
18 uncooked shrimp, peeled (or tails left on)
3 Tbsp butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
palmful fresh parsley, minced

Preheat oven to 425F. Lay salmon in an oiled 13x9 baking dish. Sprinkle with dill and salt and pepper to taste. Scatter shrimp about salmon. Stir together the garlic, butter and parsley. Pour evenly over salmon.

Bake about 10-12 minutes, until all the seafood is just cooked through. Serve with lemon wedges.

Serve with pasta or rice and perhaps garnish with some steamed broccoli.  Serves 6.

Cook'sNote:  Its a good idea to cut the salmon into serving portions before baking to assure even cooking.  Otherwise, the center may be undercooked while edges overcook for a large-enough piece to serve 6.
