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
  • 1 cup orzo
  • 3 ears corn
  • 2 ½ cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Chili flakes for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a nonstick skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Season salmon fillets with salt, garlic powder, and Cajun seasoning. Sear the fillets for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. Lower the heat to medium and add minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté until fragrant (about 2 minutes).
  3. Stir in corn kernels and orzo, cooking for 1 minute before adding chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 10 minutes until the orzo is nearly al dente.
  4. Mix in grated Parmesan, heavy cream, and lemon juice; simmer for an additional 2 minutes.
  5. Return the seared salmon to the skillet; cook together for another 2–3 minutes until heated through.
