Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- In a medium pot, heat 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter over medium.
- When hot, add mirepoix and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring until tender.
- Add rice. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring, until toasted.
- Add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and broth concentrate. Bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Zest half the lemon (use whole lemon for 4 servings), then cut into wedges.
- Thinly slice green onions.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over high.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then peppers. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until peppers are tender-crisp and blistered.
- Remove the pan from heat, then transfer peppers to a large bowl.
- To the bowl, add tomatoes, half the green onions and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. (TIP: Squeeze a lemon wedge into salsa, if you like!)
- Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with foil.
- Pat salmon dry with paper towels, then season with salt, pepper and half the Cajun Spice Blend.
- On the prepared baking sheet, arrange salmon, skin-side down. Drizzle with 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil.
- Roast salmon in the middle of the oven for 6-8 min, until cooked through.**
- Meanwhile, using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp. Remove and discard tails, if you like. Pat dry with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper.
- Reheat the same pan (from step 3) over medium.
- When hot, add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter, then shrimp. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until shrimp just turn pink.**
- Remove shrimp from heat, then season with remaining Cajun Spice Blend. Toss to coat.
- Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in lemon zest.
- Divide rice and salmon between plates.
- Spoon salsa over rice.
- Top salmon with shrimp.
- Sprinkle with remaining green onions.
- Squeeze a lemon wedge over top.
