Do you have 30 minutes or less to cook dinner? For many immediately after the bell rings at work, it is time to go home to job number 2!

- Cut slithers of butter and place all over the salmon slab(s)
- Then drizzle honey all over the salmon slab(s)
- Place the salmon back under the broiler for 5-10 minutes (do not allow to burn, you only need the butter to melt and the honey to caramelize)
- Once the butter is melted and the honey is caramelized, take out of the oven and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes
- NOW LET’S MAKE THE FRIED CORN (start the corn while the salmon is under the broiler so all is done around the same time)!
- Open cans of corn and drain all liquid (if you are using corn on the cob, cut the corn kernels from the cob with a knife (be careful) and set aside
- Add 4-6 slithers of unsalted butter to a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium to allow the butter to melt (but don’t let the butter burn)
- Once butter is melted add the corn to the skillet
- Allow corn to fry for 5-10 minutes
- After corn has been frying 5-10 minutes, add the 2-4 tbsp. of water and granulated sugar and stir to incorporate
- Allow corn to fry another 5-10 minutes
- LET’S MAKE THE STEAMED BROCCOLI (start the broccoli while the salmon is under the broiler so all is done around the same time)
- Add frozen broccoli to a Pampered Chef Vegetable Steamer or medium pot with a cover
- Add 1/3 cup of water to broccoli
- If you are using the Pampered Chef Vegetable Steamer cover and place in microwave for 8 minutes or until broccoli is tender ““ if you are using a medium pot with cover, put on stove and turn heat to medium/high cover but lift the cover just a little so a very small amount of steam can come out and cook for 10 minutes or until broccoli is tender
- After broccoli is done, drain and add unsalted butter and sea salt to taste
- SERVE, ENJOY, AND GET TO PRACTICE ON TIME!!!
