Steps:

• Mix together spices in an airtight jar and shake until well blended.
• Sprinkle cajun spice liberally over salmon fillets on both sides.
• Melt butter in a large pan over medium high heat until sizzling hot.
• Place salmon fillets in butter and cook each side 4-8 minutes, depending on the size of the fillet. Be sure to cook one whole side before flipping to blacken properly.

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.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place salmon on a plate, skin side up. Using a sharp knife, make a cut into the skin about 1/8-inch deep, in 3 different places, making sure not to cut all the way through the flesh. In a medium bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons olive oil with the Cajun seasoning, paprika and 1 teaspoon salt. Pour over the salmon to coat it on both sides and set aside to marinate.
• To a rimmed sheet pan, add potatoes, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Toss to coat and roast for about 15 minutes until tender. (Larger potatoes may take longer.)
• As potatoes roast, toss the asparagus with the garlic, the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste.
• Move the potatoes to one end of the pan and place salmon skin side up next to them. Add asparagus in an even layer to the other end of the pan, and roast everything together for 10 to 13 minutes, until the asparagus is tender and the salmon is cooked to taste. If you'd like the skin to be crispy, you can transfer the vegetables from the pan to a serving platter and pop the fish under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Brush the salmon fillets with lemon juice and pan fry for 4-5 minutes, skin side up. Turn, brush again with lemon juice, and sprinkle with the Cajun Seasoning.
• Fry for a further 4-5 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through.
• Meanwhile, mix the pepper, onion, cucumber and tomatoes in a bowl. Stir in the olive oil, vinegar and cilantro and season to taste.
• Serve the salmon and the salsa with your choice of green vegetables.

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 200c, pop the sweet potatoes into the oven and bake for 45 minutes.
• Sprinkle the salmon fillets with the cajun seasoning then bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes depending on their size.
• Zest the lemon, then juice one half and chop the corriander. Mix all three ingredients into the soured cream. Season with salt and pepper.
• When the pototoes are cooked, remove them from the oven, split their skins and turn the flesh out into a bowl. Mash and then stir a few spoons of the cream mixture through and season. Place a few spoons of the potato in the middle of the plate and lay the salmon on top. Spoon the soured cream mixture over the top.
