Blackened Country French Salmon Fillets Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, salt, white pepper, black pepper, thyme, basil and oregano.
• Brush salmon fillets EVOO until moist, and sprinkle evenly with the cayenne pepper mixture. Mist with EVOO spray (I use Garlic flavored EVOO spray).
• In a large, heavy skillet over high heat, cook salmon, until blackened, 2 to 5 minutes. Turn fillets, brush with remaining EVOO , and continue cooking until blackened and fish is easily flaked with a fork.
• At this point, I bake at 400 for 10 minutes or until desired doneness (I like mine well done). If you don't like yours well done, skip the baking stage.

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.

Steps:

• Melt butter over medium high heat. Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons (depending on how spicy you like it) of Cajun's Choice Blackened Seasoning and garlic. Stir constantly for 1 minute to blend flavors. Slow the cooking of the butter and the garlic by adding wine. Stir constantly and cook for 1 minute. Add fish fillets and cook until fish flakes apart. Squeeze lemon over fish and serve.

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.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except for fish.
• Lay the fillets, skin side down in baking pan.
• Pour marinade over fish and allow to sit for ten minutes.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes in 350 oven, basting regularly.
• Move fish to just under the broiler and allow to blacken surface of fish for a few minutes.
• Add capers if desired, baste again, and serve.

Steps:

• To make marinade, crush up the cumin, fennel seeds and cloves in a mortar and pestle.
• Mix with the rest of the marinade ingredients.
• I usually use chipotle powder instead of the paprika, up to you.
• Season filets with salt and pepper, and toss them in most of the marinade until completely coated.
• Marinate for 12 hours, or at least one hour.
• Lay the four filets side by side, and skewer them all together with 1 inch in between each of them.
• Put them on a hot grill, or under a hot broiler for 15 to 20 minutes, turning often, and brushing liberally with the remaining marinade until you have a sticky blackened glaze.
• When done, let rest five minutes then slice the meat between the skewers.
• Great with salad, spiced beans, corn on the cob.
• and cold beer.

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine seasons. Mix well.
• Pat salmon fillets on both sides with Seasoning.
• Heat skillet on high.
• Melt butter.
• Add salmon and cook 3-4 min on each side until blackened (about 12 min).
