1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
1½ tablespoons cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, for frying

½ cup heavy whipping cream

Categories     main-dish

Time 12m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon cayenne
10 sprigs fresh thyme, washed, leaves removed and chopped
1 tablespoon freshly chopped oregano leaves
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 (6 to 7-ounce) pieces salmon, pin bones removed, skin-on
3 to 4 tablespoons canola oil
2 lemons, zested and juiced

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.

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 29

6 (4 ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 ½ tablespoons ground paprika
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
¾ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
¼ teaspoon dried basil
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 (8 ounce) package baby bella mushrooms, sliced
1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
½ cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups half-and-half
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste

Steps:

  • Set salmon fillets on a plate with flesh-sides up; brush the tops with melted butter.
  • Combine paprika, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, black pepper, white pepper, basil, and thyme for seasoning in a small bowl. Sprinkle seasoning evenly over top of the salmon fillets, then lightly press the spices down onto the fish.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. When the pan is hot, place salmon, flesh-side down, into the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then carefully flip. Continue to cook until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 6 more minutes. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Toss with olive oil to keep it from sticking together.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, bell peppers, onion, and garlic; saute until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove vegetable mixture from the pan and add it to the bowl with the linguine.
  • Drain the excess liquid from the saucepan. Add remaining 6 tablespoons butter to the pan and reduce heat to medium. Stir in half-and-half, Cajun seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thick and bubbly, about 10 minutes. Gradually stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce has thickened.
  • Pour sauce over the linguine and vegetable mixture. Add tomatoes and toss to combine.
  • Serve pasta in bowls topped with blackened salmon, removing the skin, if desired. Garnish with parsley.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Salmon: Opt for fresh, high-quality salmon fillets with vibrant color and firm texture.
  • Perfect Blackening: To achieve a delicious blackened crust, ensure your skillet is scorching hot before adding the salmon. The high heat will create a flavorful char.
  • Don't Crowd the Pan: Avoid overcrowding the skillet with salmon fillets, as this will prevent them from cooking evenly. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Timing is Key: Cook the salmon for the recommended time, flipping halfway through, to ensure it's cooked through but still moist and flaky.
  • Make a Flavorful Blue Cheese Sauce: Combine creamy blue cheese, tangy buttermilk, and aromatic herbs to create a luscious sauce that complements the blackened salmon.
  • Garnish Elegantly: Enhance the presentation by garnishing the blackened salmon with fresh herbs, such as chives or dill, and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Conclusion:

Indulge in the culinary delight of blackened salmon with blue cheese sauce, a harmonious blend of bold flavors and textures. By following these tips and embracing the art of blackened cooking, you can create an unforgettable dish that tantalizes your taste buds and leaves you craving more.
