Instructions

Prep the Potatoes: Boil diced potatoes in salted water for 15–20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and mash with butter, garlic, cream, salt, and pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
Cook the Green Beans: Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add green beans and sauté 5–7 minutes until crisp-tender. Add garlic in the last 2 minutes. Season to taste.
Sear the Salmon: Season salmon with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook salmon skin-side down 4–5 minutes. Flip and cook 3–4 more minutes. Remove and set aside.
Cook the Shrimp & Sauce: In the same pan, melt butter and add garlic and lemon slices. Sauté 1–2 minutes. Add shrimp and cook 2–3 minutes per side until pink. Add lemon juice and parsley.
Assemble & Serve: Plate mashed potatoes with shrimp on top, salmon with lemon slices, and green beans on the side. Drizzle remaining lemon butter sauce over everything. Garnish with fresh herbs.

Notes

Add chili flakes for heat.
Swap salmon for cod or chicken.
Use Yukon Gold potatoes for extra creaminess.
