BLACKENED SALMON WITH SPINACH AND SOY BLACK BEANS (FIVE-MINUTE MEAL IN A PAN!)
Steps:
- Heat oil in a large heavy saute pan or iron skillet over high heat until almost smoking hot.
- Coat the salmon fillets well on both sides with the blackening spice and place gently in the hot pan. Sear on the first side for about 2 minutes and then flip fish over. Add the black beans to 1 corner of the pan and throw in the fresh spinach and butter right on top of everything and cook it all for about 2 minutes more.
- To serve, take the spinach off the top and place it on the bottom of a plate. Then arrange the salmon and black beans around it. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
- Mix all the blackening spice ingredients well and store in a sealed container or spice canister. Keep extra as a versatile spice in your kitchen.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Toss the leeks in a roasting pan with 1/3 cup olive oil; season with salt. Roast until slightly golden, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the salmon in another shallow pan and rub with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Set aside to come to room temperature.
- When the leeks are done, reduce the oven temperature to 275 degrees F. Season the salmon with salt, place over the leeks and brush with the oil in the pan. Roast until firm, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in a pot of boiling salted water until fork-tender, about 10 minutes; drain.
- Pulse the shallot in a food processor until minced. Add the butter, chives, tarragon, parsley, lemon juice, and salt to taste and pulse until combined.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and top with half of the herb butter; top the potatoes with the rest. Slice the salmon, season with salt and serve with the leeks and potatoes.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your salmon and vegetables, the better your dish will taste. Look for salmon that is firm to the touch and has a bright pink color. Avoid salmon that is slimy or has a strong odor.
- Use a good quality blackened seasoning: This will give your salmon a delicious smoky flavor. You can make your own blackened seasoning or use a store-bought blend.
- Cook the salmon over high heat: This will help to create a crispy outer crust and a tender, juicy interior.
- Do not overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque in the center, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Serve the salmon immediately: Salmon is best served hot out of the pan. It can also be served at room temperature or chilled.
- Pair the salmon with a simple side dish: Lima bean smashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad are all good options.
Conclusion:
Blackened salmon with lima bean smashed potatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The blackened seasoning gives the salmon a wonderful smoky flavor, while the lima bean smashed potatoes are creamy and comforting. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
