Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Maque Choux

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    Add Corn and Broth

    Stir in the corn, vegetable broth, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until the mixture is thickened and flavors meld.

  3. 3

    Cook the Okra

    In a separate skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add okra and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender and lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.

  4. 4

    Make Garlic-Herb Butter

    In the same skillet used for the okra, add the remaining tablespoon of butter, minced garlic, parsley, and thyme. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Pan-Sear the Salmon

    Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. In the skillet, sear the salmon over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown.

  6. 6

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, place a generous portion of Maque Choux, top it with a salmon fillet, drizzle with garlic-herb butter, and garnish with sautéed okra.
