Salmon is such a fun fish to add a topping to. The versatile flavors are endless! Give this a try if you like peaches! I guarantee you will like this!
And my journey begins…
INGREDIENTS:
- 2-4 salmon fillets (3-4 ounces each)
- 2 TBSP cajun seasoning
- 1/2 lime juiced
- 1 TSP brown sugar
- 2 TSP olive oil
- 1-2 peaches (or nectarines)
- Shrimp
- 1 bunch rainbow chard
- Quinoa
INSTRUCTIONS:
SALMON:
- In a small bowl, combine the cajun seasoning (you can add more or less depending on how spicy you would like this) and brown sugar.
- Rub the mixture over the salmon carefully.
- In a large skillet, heat up the olive oil over medium heat. QUICK TIP: If you would prefer to bake the salmon, do so at 350 degrees until flaky.
SHRIMP:
- Bring a pot of water to boil. Add a shimmy of cajun seasoning the shrimp. Remove from the heat and place in another bowl until the salmon is done.
PEACH TOPPING:
- Bring a pot of water to boil.
- Dice the fruit. Drop the peach (or nectarine) in for about 2-3 minutes or until desired softness (but not mushy). QUICK TIP: You can leave the skins on if desired.
- Once the salmon is done, add the peach topping and shrimp.
RAINBOW CHARD & QUINOA:

As you can tell, I enjoy adding different toppings to salmon! Spicy or not, you can adjust the flavoring to your own taste buds! Good luck on your own cooking endeavors!
