Steps:
- Heat oil in a large heavy saute pan or iron skillet over high heat until almost smoking hot.

- 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.

BLACKENED SALMON FILLETS
This is a recipe I found on All Recipes. It's SPICY, tasty and a delicious way to serve salmon. I've altered the recipe quite a bit but will spell out both variations so you can make this recipe according to what suits your family. For instance, this recipe calls for a 1/2 cup of butter but I don't use any...just olive oil to brush the fillets with. Also, this recipe states to cook the fish entirely on the stove but I blacken for a few minutes and then bake at 400 for 10 minutes for perfectly cooked fish without an overly smoky kitchen!

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:
- Place bacon in a 5-quart Dutch oven and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle.

- Reduce heat to a simmer. Add bacon and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Cover and simmer until peas are tender, 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how tender you like them.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught salmon that is fresh or flash-frozen. Avoid farmed salmon, as it is often lower in quality and may contain more contaminants.
- Blacken the salmon properly. To get that perfect blackened crust, make sure your skillet is very hot before adding the salmon. Sear the salmon for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it is important not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
- Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and texture than frozen spinach.
- Season the black-eyed peas well. Black-eyed peas have a mild flavor, so it is important to season them well. Add some salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
Conclusion:
Blackened salmon with spinach and black-eyed peas is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection, the spinach is wilted and flavorful, and the black-eyed peas are tender and creamy. This dish is also very easy to make, so it is a great option for busy weeknights.
