Default Sauces for salmon and shrimp -- recommendations needed

We're having some friends over for dinner soon, and I'm planning the menu.
My plan so far is this:

Appetizers -- crackers with cream cheese and green tomato jam, some kind of
roasted nut mixture, some interesting olives.

Salad -- mixed green salad with creamy mustard vinaigrette

Main course -- grilled salmon, grilled shrimp, angel hair pasta with garlic
and herbs (this is like aglio olio, but with fresh herbs added), some
veggies (probably steamed sugar snap peas and grilled zucchini)

Dessert -- strawberry tart

I'll bake some bread or rolls, too.

This is a pretty simple menu, and I think it cries out for some sauces for
the seafood. I'll skewer the shrimp, and weather permitting, we'll grill
them and the salmon over charcoal, using just a bit of olive oil to keep
them from sticking.

I'd like sauces to serve on the side. I'm thinking one primarily for the
salmon and a different one for the shrimp, although it will be fun if they
can be "mix and match".

Suggestions, anyone? One of our guests is a recovering alcoholic, so I
don't want sauces that include wine or other alcoholic beverage. Also, I
prefer sauces that can be pretty much made in advance.

TIA
