Steps:

• Remove skin prior to serving.

CAJUN SALMON

Steps:

• Brush a little oil in a frying pan and preheat the pan.
• Combine the spices for the salmon in a small bowl.
• Turn the salmon fillets in the spices, covering all sides.
• Place the salmon fillets (skin side under) in the hot frying pan.
• Fry for 4 minutes before turning over and frying for another 3 minutes or until done.

BLACKENED SALMON FILLETS

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.

CAJUN SPICED SALMON

Steps:

• Put the salmon in a bowl, pour over the lime juice and leave the salmon to 'cure' for 5 mins. Meanwhile, mix all the spices together with the sugar. Lift the salmon out of the lime juice and roll in the spices so it's completely coated.
• Heat grill to high. Grease a baking tray, then sit the salmon, flesh-side up, on the tray. Grill for 5 mins, until the salmon is cooked through and the edges are starting to blacken. While the salmon is cooking, gently mix all the salsa ingredients together with the roughly chopped coriander. When the fish is cooked, serve with the salsa, some rice and the coriander sprigs.
