The Sauce
The sauce is what really brings the flavors of the redfish and lobster together in this dish. To make the sauce, melt two tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and shallot and sauté for a few minutes, until softened.
Sprinkle the flour over the garlic and shallot and stir to combine. Cook for a minute or two to create a roux, then slowly whisk in the white wine and chicken broth. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens and comes to a boil.
Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Add the paprika and cayenne pepper and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cooking the Redfish and Lobster
Now that the sauce is ready, it's time to cook the redfish and lobster. Season the redfish fillet with salt and pepper and place it in a baking dish. Spoon some of the sauce over the top of the fish.
Add the lobster meat to the remaining sauce and stir to combine. Pour the lobster sauce over the redfish.
Bake the redfish and lobster in a preheated 375-degree oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
