SLAMMIN BLACKENED SALMON

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!

BLACKENED SALMON WITH BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Over medium heat heat a skillet.
• Coat both sides of salmon with seasoning and then place in skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side or until done and blackened.
• In another skillet cook broccoli (see note in description) and water in a skillet, bring to a boil and simmer until tender (5 minutes for rabe or 10 minutes for regular broccoli); drain.
• Wipe out skillet (used to cook broccoli) and heat oil over medium heat. Stir in shallots and salt and cook for 3-5 minutes or until softened. Stir in broccoli and raisins.
• Serve broccoli with salmon and lemon wedges.

BLACKENED SALMON

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.

BLACKENED SALMON WITH WHISKEY BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Generously sprinkle both sides of each salmon fillet with the seasoning mix (you want a good coating).
• Rub into the fillet and add more if you end up with bare spots.
• Set aside.
• With temperature on high, heat the olive oil in a saute pan large enough to hold both fillets.
• When it starts to smoke and shimmer, add the butter and swirl just until melted.
• Add the fillets and cook over high heat, 1-2 minutes per side until blackened, but not burnt (watch carefully).
• 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.
• Let each addition melt before adding another.
• Whisk constantly.
• Pour over salmon and serve.

BLACKENED SALMON

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.
