Cajun Blackened Salmon Recipes

Steps:

• Mix together spices in an airtight jar and shake until well blended.
• Sprinkle cajun spice liberally over salmon fillets on both sides.
• Melt butter in a large pan over medium high heat until sizzling hot.
• Place salmon fillets in butter and cook each side 4-8 minutes, depending on the size of the fillet. Be sure to cook one whole side before flipping to blacken properly.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, salt, white pepper, black pepper, thyme, basil and oregano.
• Brush salmon fillets on both sides with 1/4 cup butter, and sprinkle evenly with the cayenne pepper mixture. Drizzle one side of each fillet with 1/2 remaining butter.
• In a large, heavy skillet over high heat, cook salmon, butter side down, until blackened, 2 to 5 minutes. Turn fillets, drizzle with remaining butter, and continue cooking until blackened and fish is easily flaked with a fork.

Steps:

• Melt butter over medium high heat. Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons (depending on how spicy you like it) of Cajun's Choice Blackened Seasoning and garlic. Stir constantly for 1 minute to blend flavors. Slow the cooking of the butter and the garlic by adding wine. Stir constantly and cook for 1 minute. Add fish fillets and cook until fish flakes apart. Squeeze lemon over fish and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat grill. Generously grease or oil the grill grates.
• 2. Thoroughly combine all the seasonings (from paprika to cumin) in a bowl, and set seasoning blend aside.
• 3. With half of the melted butter (1/4 cup), brush both sides of all the fillets. Rub the seasoning blend over both sides of all of the fillets. Drizzle 1/8 cup of the melted butter over the fillets.
• 4. Place fillets on hot grill, buttered side down, and grill until blackened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Turn fillets over, drizzle the remaining 1/8 cup of melted butter across the top of each fillet, and continue grilling for another 3 to 4 minutes or until the second side is blackened and the fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork at the thickets part.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the paprika, oregano, cayenne, sugar, lime zest, garlic and oil in a bowl with a good pinch of salt. Toss the peppers, onions and beans with half of the spice paste in a large roasting tin, then cook in the oven for 25 mins.
• Remove from the oven and give the veg and beans a good mix. Lay the salmon on top, skin-side down, then brush over the remaining spice paste. Bake for a further 25 mins, until the salmon is cooked through.
• Meanwhile, for the salsa, halve, stone and finely chop the avocados and mango. Mix with the lime juice, chilli, coriander and some salt. Serve the salmon, veg and beans with the salsa and lime wedges for squeezing over.
