Directions
- Cook the Cajun Salmon
Rub salmon fillets with olive oil. Season generously with Cajun seasoning, paprika, and a pinch of salt. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook salmon 3–4 minutes per side until blackened on the outside and flaky inside. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top before serving. - Make the Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Place cubed potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 12–15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Mash with butter, minced garlic, milk or cream, salt, and pepper until creamy and fluffy. - Prepare the Shrimp Veggie Medley
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers; cook 3–5 minutes until tender-crisp. Add shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook 2–3 minutes until shrimp turn pink. Sprinkle with parsley if desired. - Assemble the Plate
Place a generous scoop of garlic mashed potatoes on each plate. Top with a Cajun salmon fillet and serve the shrimp veggie medley alongside.
