Salmon, Shrimp, Cheesy Broccoli with Corn Delight
Ingredients
- 2 fillets salmon (about 6 oz each)
- 8 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1 cup sweet corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- to taste salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- for garnish fresh parsley
Instructions
- Start by rinsing the salmon and shrimp under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels. Season the salmon fillets and shrimp with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Push the garlic to the side of the skillet and add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through. In the last 2 minutes, add the shrimp to the skillet, cooking until they turn pink.
- While the salmon and shrimp are cooking, place broccoli florets in a microwave-safe bowl with a bit of water. Cover and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and lemon juice until well combined. Add sweet corn to the mixture.
- Once the salmon and shrimp are cooked, gently fold in the steamed broccoli and the cheesy corn mixture into the skillet. Allow to cook over low heat for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and creamy.
- Plate a salmon fillet with shrimp and cheesy broccoli-corn mixture artfully arranged on the side. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.
