EASY CAJUN SALMON



Easy Cajun Salmon image

Cajun salmon is a quick and easy dinner recipe that is bursting with flavor. Cajun seasoned salmon is quickly seared until blacked, then a little cream (or dairy-free cashew cream) is added to the pan to make a creamy cajun sauce. It's delicious!

Categories     Dinner

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 5-ounce salmon fillets (see notes)
1 tablespoon cooking oil (we like avocado oil)
⅓ cup heavy cream or cashew cream (see notes)
Minced parsley (to serve)
1 tablespoon paprika
1 ½ teaspoons EACH: onion powder and garlic powder
½ teaspoon EACH: thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, and cayenne (see notes)

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.

CAJUN BLACKENED SALMON



Cajun Blackened Salmon image

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.
