Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 5-ounce salmon fillets (see notes)
1 tablespoon cooking oil (we like avocado oil)
⅓ cup heavy cream or cashew cream (see notes)
Minced parsley (to serve)
1 tablespoon paprika
1 ½ teaspoons EACH: onion powder and garlic powder
½ teaspoon EACH: thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, and cayenne (see notes)

Steps:

  • Mix the seasoning ingredients together in a small bowl. Reserve about ½ tablespoon of the seasoning then sprinkle the remaining evenly over the top of the salmon.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the salmon to the pan, top side facing down. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the side of the salmon that is facing the pan is well-browned (blackened). Flip the salmon over and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked. It should reach an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the salmon from the pan.
  • Add the cream and the reserved ½ tablespoon of cajun seasoning to the pan. Simmer for about 1 minute, or until the cream reduces slightly. Serve the salmon with the cajun cream sauce poured over the top and a little minced parsley for color.
