Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 pound fresh salmon fillet, skinless, cut into 2 pieces (not too thick or cooking time will increase)
Blackening Spice, recipe follows
1 (12-ounce) can "soy" black beans, drained (available at health food and specialty stores)
4 cups fresh spinach, cleaned
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Sour cream, for garnish
5 tablespoons kosher salt
5 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon dry thyme
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper

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.

BLACKENED SALMON FILLETS



Blackened Salmon Fillets image

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!

Time 20m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons ground paprika
1 tablespoon ground cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 lb salmon (fillets, skin removed)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (The original recipe calls for 1/2 cup butter)
olive oil flavored cooking spray

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.

BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH BACON



Black-Eyed Peas with Bacon image

This recipe will convert the most skeptical person about beans being delicious!

Provided by MUKWONOCOOK

Categories     Fruits and Vegetables     Beans and Peas     Black-Eyed Peas

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 slices bacon, or more to taste
1 large onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups chicken broth
4 cups dry black-eyed peas - sorted, rinsed, and drained
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

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.
  • Heat bacon drippings over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion, celery, and garlic in the drippings until tender, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, black-eyed peas, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil and skim the top if necessary.
  • 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.
