Salmon New Orleans
Prep Time: 20 minutes / Cooking Time: 45 minutes
-
My favorite dish growing up (beside Walt's Favorite Shrimp) from Red Lobster. Salmon New Orleans is a full meal served over wild rice and a green vegetable of your choice. I highly recommend Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning for this dish and Mike's Hot Honey.
Step 1
Make the wild rice. Sauté minced shallot, garlic, and shiitake mushrooms in olive oil until fragrant, about 8-10 minutes. Combine in a rice cooker with 2 cups of rinsed wild rice and cook in chicken broth.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp of avocado oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat and place salmon filets skin-side down and cook for 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy and releases on its own from the pan. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, remove.
Step 3
Melt 3-4 tbsp of butter in the same pan and whisk in 2 tbsp of honey and a few dashes of Cajun seasoning. Toss in the shrimp and cook until opaque for about 5-6 minutes. Toss with fresh parsley and diced tomatoes.
Step 4
Steam the broccolini. Wash and trim the bottoms of the broccolini and place in a microwavable steamer for 4-5 minutes until bright green in color.
Step 5
Serve the salmon and shrimp over wild rice with the honey Cajun butter sauce drizzled over with a side of broccolini and a wedge of lemon.
