Blackened Salmon
Ingredients:


1-2 fillets wild salmon (approximately 12 ounces total)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1 tablespoon dried basil
2 teaspoons thyme
1-2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions:
Mix seasonings together and spread onto a flat plate. Invert the salmon into the
seasoning, then flip over, making sure to coat all areas.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Before the oil begins to smoke,
place salmon flesh-side down in the pan. Turn the salmon after about 3 minutes.
Continue cooking until flesh is still a little rare in the middle when tested with a small
knife, about 2-3 more minutes.
Serve over fresh spring greens.
Serves 3.
Substitutions: Use this basic blackening season for fish, chicken, or turkey.

4 red snapper fillets
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons extra virgin cold-pressed olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 ripe tomatoes, *peeled, seeded and chopped
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh chile pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, peeled and mashed
Pinch cinnamon
Sea salt to taste
Instructions:
Rub fish filets with lime juice, cover and refrigerate for several hours.
Dry the filets with paper towels. In a cast iron skillet, sauté the filets briefly in olive oil on
both sides. Transfer to an oiled glass baking dish. Add more olive oil to the skillet.
Sauté the onion until soft. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for about 30 minutes or
more until most of the liquid is absorbed. Season to taste with sea salt.
Strew the sauce over fish and bake at 350 degrees until tender, about 25 minutes.
*To peel tomatoes and other thin-skinned fruits, bring a pan of filtered water to a boil.
Using a slotted spoon, dip tomatoes in, one at a time, for about 5 seconds each. The skin
should peel off easily. To seed tomatoes, cut in half at the equator, hold tomato half in the
palm of your hand and gently squeeze out seeds.
