🔥 Instructions:
1. Make the Honey Bourbon Glazed Salmon:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine honey, bourbon, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet and brush the glaze generously over the fillets.
Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until it reaches your desired doneness, basting with the glaze halfway through.
2. Prepare the Sautéed Shrimp:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the shrimp with garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper.
Sauté the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and pink. Remove from heat.
3. Make the Cheesy Broccoli:
Steam or blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, or until tender but still bright green.
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and stir in heavy cream.
Once the cream is heated, add the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper.
Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Toss the cooked broccoli in the cheese sauce until well coated.
4. Cook the Cajun Corn:
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Add the corn and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Sprinkle with Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt. Continue to cook for a few more minutes, until the corn is tender and coated with the spices.
5. Prepare the Yellow Rice:
In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add rice and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add chicken broth, turmeric, and salt.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
6. Serve:
Plate the honey bourbon glazed salmon over a bed of yellow rice.
Arrange the sautéed shrimp, cheesy broccoli, and Cajun corn around the salmon.
Drizzle any extra glaze from the baking sheet over the salmon for extra flavor.
💡 Pro Tip: If you want to take the shrimp to the next level, marinate them in the same honey bourbon sauce for 10-15 minutes before sautéing for more flavor depth!
