2 garlic cloves, minced
1 large fresh jalapeno chile, seeded (opt.) and finely chopped

Preheat grill to medium high. Oil the grill rack. Sprinkle the Cajun spice over both sides of each fillet. Place the salmon on the grill and cook for 4-6 minutes. Turn and continue cooking until the fish is cooked through, about 4 more minutes.
In a large skillet over medium heat add butter and onion, saute for 5 minutes until soft. Add the garlic, jalapeno, corn and peppers. Stir together and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes. Add the beans, tomatoes, basil and season with salt and pepper. Divide the corn medley onto 4 plates and top with Cajun spiced grilled salmon.

I like this dish because it's relatively easy and you can change things around if needed. Also, you get your protein AND lots of veggies in one go!
What if I can't eat seafood?
Use chicken ^-^
What if I have a tomato allergy?
Um, just don't add the tomatoes?
What if I'm a vegan?
...Sorry, I can't help you there.
What if I don't like eating onions/garlic/jalapeno/corn/pepper/beans/tomatoes/vegetables in general?
You miss out and people will label you as the picky eater and will stop inviting you to awesome parties.

The whole feel of the picture is somewhat nostalgic; it feels like stepping into the gateway to childhood imaginings. It's well done!
