Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 skinless salmon fillets
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 yellow onion (finely chopped)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 3 sprigs of thyme (more for serving)
  • 1 cup orzo
  • 3 ears corn (kernels removed)
  • 2 ½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon dry and season with salt, garlic powder, and Cajun seasoning.
  2. In a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil and butter. Sear the salmon for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown; remove from skillet.

  7. Return seared salmon to the skillet until heated through.
  8. Serve garnished with fresh thyme and additional black pepper.
