CAJUN BLACKENED SALMON
Yet another recipe from my mother-in-law, who is probably the best cook that I personally know. This is, hands down, our favourite way to eat salmon in our house - and we eat a lot of it! The spice portion can be doubled and stored for later - I typically double or triple the recipe and store it in an airtight jar so that it is available whenever I want it.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, add the paprika, cayenne, thyme and oregano and salt and mix to blend. Put the mixture on a plate or other flat surface and coat the portions of salmon, 1 at a time, on the flesh side only.
- Heat a large heavy-bottomed pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat, and add the oil. When the oil begins to smoke quite heavily shut the heat off under the pan. Add the salmon, 1 at a time, in a single layer, flesh side down, in the oil. Turn the heat back on under the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Use a spatula to turn the salmon to the other side. Cook the salmon over medium heat, until the skin becomes crispy, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Arrange the salmon on a platter, sprinkle with lemon zest and lemon juice and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a bowl, combine the blackening seasoning: the paprika, garlic granules, thyme, cayenne, and black pepper. Rub the seasoning onto all sides of the salmon.
- Coat a baking sheet with the coconut oil spray, then place the seasoned salmon on the sheet and bake it for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the salmon is firm but not dry.
- While the salmon is baking, prepare the salsa. Combine all the salsa ingredients in a bowl and let the flavors meld at room temperature until the salmon is ready. Top the cooked salmon with half the salsa, and reserve the other half in the fridge.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400F. Set an oven rack in the lower-middle position.
- Prepare the salmon: Use 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to grease the bottom of a rimmed sheet pan. Place the salmon, skin side down, on a flat surface and season with salt. In a small bowl, mix together the cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and mustard and set aside. Sift an even layer of the spices over the salmon and arrange filets skin side down, on the baking sheet, with space between each.
- Prepare the kale: In a medium bowl, massage the kale with the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and the garlic. Arrange it all around (but not covering) the fish on the pan. Sprinkle the oregano on top of the salmon.
- Cook the salmon: Place the pan in the lower-middle rack and roast for 10 to 12 minutes for medium to medium-rare salmon. (For well-done fish, leave in the oven an additional 5-8 minutes.) Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle all of the lime zest and juice over the fish. Drizzle with honey. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Set salmon fillets on a plate with flesh-sides up; brush the tops with melted butter.
- Combine paprika, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, black pepper, white pepper, basil, and thyme for seasoning in a small bowl. Sprinkle seasoning evenly over top of the salmon fillets, then lightly press the spices down onto the fish.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. When the pan is hot, place salmon, flesh-side down, into the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then carefully flip. Continue to cook until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 6 more minutes. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Toss with olive oil to keep it from sticking together.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, bell peppers, onion, and garlic; saute until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove vegetable mixture from the pan and add it to the bowl with the linguine.
- Drain the excess liquid from the saucepan. Add remaining 6 tablespoons butter to the pan and reduce heat to medium. Stir in half-and-half, Cajun seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thick and bubbly, about 10 minutes. Gradually stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce has thickened.
- Pour sauce over the linguine and vegetable mixture. Add tomatoes and toss to combine.
- Serve pasta in bowls topped with blackened salmon, removing the skin, if desired. Garnish with parsley.

THE BEST CAJUN BLACKENED SALMON EVER.
We eat a lot of salmon (at least once a week) and this is by far my favorite way of preparing it. It's really quite simple, and the end result is so delicious. The sweetness of the apple juice/white wine combined with the spiciness of the Cajun seasoning is amazing. The blackened texture of the fish is also great. Not your typical boring salmon!

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.

BLACKENED SALMON FILLETS
This is a recipe I found on All Recipes. It's SPICY, tasty and a delicious way to serve salmon. I've altered the recipe quite a bit but will spell out both variations so you can make this recipe according to what suits your family. For instance, this recipe calls for a 1/2 cup of butter but I don't use any...just olive oil to brush the fillets with. Also, this recipe states to cook the fish entirely on the stove but I blacken for a few minutes and then bake at 400 for 10 minutes for perfectly cooked fish without an overly smoky kitchen!

Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, salt, white pepper, black pepper, thyme, basil and oregano.
- Brush salmon fillets EVOO until moist, and sprinkle evenly with the cayenne pepper mixture. Mist with EVOO spray (I use Garlic flavored EVOO spray).
- In a large, heavy skillet over high heat, cook salmon, until blackened, 2 to 5 minutes. Turn fillets, brush with remaining EVOO , and continue cooking until blackened and fish is easily flaked with a fork.
- At this point, I bake at 400 for 10 minutes or until desired doneness (I like mine well done). If you don't like yours well done, skip the baking stage.
BLACKENED SALMON WITH WHISKEY BUTTER SAUCE
This is easy, fast, and melts in your mouth. Be sure to use the freshest salmon you can find. Other blackening seasonings will work, but Emeril's really does give the best flavor. Also don't substitute Scotch or Irish whiskey; while they're great to drink, they don't give the right flavor in this dish. Lastly, and most importantly, be VERY careful when adding the alcohol to the frying pan--you don't want singed eyelashes or worse!

- Rub into the fillet and add more if you end up with bare spots.

- Remove from the heat; standing back from the pan, add the whiskey.
- Cover the saute pan, return to the burner over med-low, and cook for another 2-4 minutes, depending on the thickness.
- When the fish is done through, remove to a plate and keep warm.
- Bring the remaining whiskey in the pan to a simmer, add the minced shallot, and whisk in the remaining butter, one tablespoon at a time.

SHEET PAN BLACKENED SALMON WITH GARLICKY SPINACH
This is my modified weeknight version of Louisiana chef Paul Prudhomme's classic and legendary blackening technique. Traditionally you dip the protein, typically redfish, in melted butter and then in a mix of spices (a sort of local Louisiana masala) that often includes dry mustard, ground garlic, ginger, and cayenne pepper. When the protein is seared in a roaring-hot (usually cast-iron) pan, the butter and spices almost form a crust, giving the fish a charred and spicy exterior. To save some steps and make this a complete meal, I sift the spices evenly over olive oil-drizzled fish instead (if you don't have a strainer or sieve, sprinkle the spices directly over the fish). The garlicky spinach is a simple side dish to fit into any meal. You can also use it as the base for a salad and top it with roasted chicken, meat or fish. Add some roasted nuts for crunch or Parmesan cheese for richness. Or, just keep it super simple...

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set an oven rack in the lower-middle position.
- Prepare the salmon: In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, dry mustard, and oregano and set aside. Use 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to grease a sheet pan. Place the salmon, skin-side down, on a flat surface and season it with salt. Drizzle the salmon with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Transfer the spice mixture to a small fine-mesh sieve or strainer and sift an even layer of the spices over the salmon. Arrange the fillets skin-side down on the prepared sheet pan, leaving space between them.
- Cook the salmon: Place the pan on the lower-middle rack and roast for 10 to 12 minutes for medium to medium-rare salmon. (For well-done fish, leave it in the oven for an additional 5 to 8 minutes.) Remove the pan from the oven and drizzle the honey over the fish. Then sprinkle all of the lime zest and juice over the fish.
- While the salmon roasts, cook the spinach: Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. "Spear" the garlic clove on the tines of a fork. When the oil is hot and begins to smoke lightly, add the spinach and cook in the oil, stirring with the fork, 30 seconds. By stirring the spinach with the garlic clove on the end of the fork, it imparts a garlic flavor without overwhelming the spinach. Stir in salt and black pepper and remove the skillet from the heat. Stir until the spinach loses half its volume. Sprinkle with the red wine vinegar. Serve immediately with the salmon.

Steps:
- Season the salmon on both sides with salt, pepper and the Cajun seasoning; set aside. (If your Cajun seasoning contains salt, do not season the salmon with additional salt.) Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the celery and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the celery starts to soften, about 4 minutes. Stir in 2 sliced scallions and the garlic; cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add the black-eyed peas and chicken broth. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat, then uncover and reduce to a simmer. Mash about 1/4 cup of the beans against the side of the pan with a wooden spoon. Simmer until the broth is thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Rub the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil all over the salmon. Add to the skillet, curved-side down; reduce the heat to medium high and cook until blackened on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip, reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes for medium rare to medium.
- Add the spinach and hot sauce to the beans; stir until wilted, about 30 seconds. Add more salt and pepper, if needed. Divide the beans and salmon among shallow bowls. Top with the remaining sliced scallion.

Steps:

- Rinse fish and pat dry. Coat thoroughly with seasonings, pressing into flesh.
- Spray both sides thoroughly with non-stick vegetable spray after coating.
- Cook in a hot nonstick or cast iron skillet, on grill or under broiler for 10 minutes per inch of thickness. Turn halfway through cooking. Set aside to rest.
- Add lettuce, half of Parmesan cheese and slightly more than half of dressing to a large salad bowl. Add croutons and toss gently and thoroughly to evenly coat greens.
- Distribute mixture between 4 serving plates. Top each salad with a piece of salmon, sprinkle with additional cheese and garnish with lemon.
- Grind black pepper over top if desired. Serve with additional dressing if needed.
- Note: I prefer the sizzle of pan frying and using 1 tablespoon each butter and vegetable oil.

This is a great way to grill salmon. It's easy and quick to prepare (no marinating, no resting time). The salmon blackens so nicely and gives a smoky tone that's a perfect match for the tasty seasoning blend.

Steps:
- Remove salmon from package and rub with blackening seasoning on skin free side.
- Use just enough to cover the piece of fish but not so much that you can't see the pink behind the seasoning.
- Heat grill pan on med heat and brush lightly with olive oil (very lightly) Place salmon skin side down on pan and cook on med heat until half of the salmon (from the bottom up) is opaque.
- Flip salmon and remove skin (it will peel off very easily and usually in one piece- I place it in a small plastic bag and tie it before dropping it in the garbage can to reduce fishy odors) Cook another 5-8 minutes until the entire piece of fish is opaque and runs with a white milk like substance (healthy omega fatty acids) Serve immediately with rice or potato and veggie of your choice for a healthy meal that tastes like you're at a restaurant even when you cooked it yourself!

Steps:
- Each steak works best if it is about 3/4 inches thick, especially when using a cast iron skillet. Coat each stake with the butter (or olive oil) and let sit while the rest of the butter/olive oil heats up in the pan. After about 10 minutes, coat each stake on both sides with the seasoning mix and let it cook for around 2 minutes uncovered. Afterwards, flip it over and cook the stakes until they are a nice pink color inside. The time that it takes to cook each stake determines on how large they are.
