Salmon and Shrimp with Garlic Rice

Yes there is salmon and shrimp in all that cheese! and it was yummy!


5 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
1.5 c half and half
1.5 c shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 tsp ground mustard
1/4 tsp dill weed
1/2 lb shrimp, uncooked, peeled and deveined
1.5 lb salmon fillets (I used 1 large fillet, you can use several small if you want)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 c uncooked long grain rice
2 c chicken broth

In a large sauce pan, melt 3tbsp butter. Stir in flour until smooth. Add half and half gradually. Bring to a boil. cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
Add 1 cup of cheese, salt, mustard, and dill. stir until cheese is melted. Remove from heat and stir in shrimp.
Pat salmon dry with paper towel and place in greased baking dish.

Pour shrimp mixture over salmon and top with remaining cheese.

Meanwhile, in a sauce pan, saute garlic in remaining butter until tender. Add rice, cook and stir  for 2 minutes. Stir in broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Serve with salmon and shrimp.
