This super-zingy salmon supper is perfect for those on a low-salt diet

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 25m

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 salmon fillets , about 140g/5oz each
juice 1 lime
pinch chilli powder
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp ground coriander
pinch of soft brown sugar
drizzle of sunflower oil
steamed rice , to serve
1 ripe avocado , peeled and diced
handful cherry tomatoes , quartered
2 spring onions , sliced
juice 1 lime
splash of olive oil
bunch of coriander , half roughly chopped, half picked into sprigs

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.

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!

Provided by Kristen Stevens

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.
