Steps:
- Mix the seasoning ingredients together in a small bowl. Reserve about ½ tablespoon of the seasoning then sprinkle the remaining evenly over the top of the salmon.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the salmon to the pan, top side facing down. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the side of the salmon that is facing the pan is well-browned (blackened). Flip the salmon over and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked. It should reach an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the salmon from the pan.
- Add the cream and the reserved ½ tablespoon of cajun seasoning to the pan. Simmer for about 1 minute, or until the cream reduces slightly. Serve the salmon with the cajun cream sauce poured over the top and a little minced parsley for color.

NICK'S SALMON WITH CAJUN CREAM SAUCE
Steps:
- Rinse filet and place on aluminum foil. Pour Whiskey over salmon. Let sit for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle garlic over salmon then cover salmon with spices. Cut butter into slices and randomly place butter on salmon. Cover salmon with aluminum foil and fold over sides to make a pocket, so no steam can escape. This keeps liquid inside. After salmon is done, unfold foil and remove top. Cut salmon with spatula into servings and remove. Pour cream into liquid and mix with spoon or fork lightly. Pour over salmon then serve. Goes well with a sweet pineapple rice and a mixed vegetable.
