Instructions
Before starting, preheat oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Cut celery into 1/4-inch pieces. Heat a medium pot over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then onions, celery and 1/2 tsp garlic salt (dbl for 4 ppl). Cook, stirring often, until tender, 3-4 min. Add rice and cook, stirring often, until toasted, 1-2 min. Add 1 1/4 cups water (dbl for 4 ppl) and broth concentrate. Cover and bring to boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cook, still covered, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
While rice cooks, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces. Zest half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 ppl), then cut into wedges. Thinly slice green onions. Using a strainer, drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Pat salmon dry with paper towels, then sprinkle with half the Cajun Seasoning and 1/4 tsp garlic salt (dbl for 4 ppl). Season with pepper.
Heat a large non-stick pan over high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then peppers and remaining garlic salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp and blistered, 3-4 min. Remove pan from heat, then transfer peppers to a large bowl. Add tomatoes and half the green onions, then toss to combine. Season with pepper.
While peppers cook, arrange salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet and drizzle with1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl). Bake in the middle of the oven until salmon is opaque in the centre, 6-8 min.
While salmon roasts, heat the same pan (from step 3) over medium. When hot, add 2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then shrimp. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp just turn pink, 3-4 min. Season with remaining Cajun Seasoning, salt and pepper. Remove pan from heat.
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 remaining green onions over top. Squeeze over a lemon wedge, if desired.
