- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 14.5 ounces chopped tomatoes (canned, with juices)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1.5 cups long-grain rice
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 8 ounces wild Alaskan cod, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 8 ounces Alaskan salmon, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 12 large Alaskan shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 scallions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

Instructions
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil and sliced Andouille sausage. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned. Remove the sausage and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute, until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes (with their juices), chicken broth, long-grain rice, bay leaf, and Cajun seasoning. Stir well to combine.
Return the browned sausage to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Gently stir in the Alaskan cod, salmon, and shrimp. Season with salt and black pepper. Cover and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the seafood is cooked through and opaque.
Remove the bay leaf and discard. Sprinkle the jambalaya with chopped scallions and parsley.
Serve hot, straight from the pot. Enjoy your delicious Alaskan-style twist on traditional jambalaya!
