Blackened fish is offset by a spicy slaw in this classic combination.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon brown mustard seeds
- 4 cups shredded green cabbage
- 1/2 cup peeled and shredded carrot
- 1/2 cup green pepper, julienned
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 mango, peeled, seeded and julienned
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Pinch each of salt and ground black pepper
- 4 4- to 6-ounce salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Cajun spice mix
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Preparation
- In a small saute pan, lightly toast the mustard seeds over medium heat. In a large bowl, mix together the cabbage, carrot, green pepper, green onion, mango, garlic, mustard, mustard seeds, curry powder, vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Rub the flesh side of each salmon fillet evenly with Cajun spice.
- Heat a large iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the skillet with vegetable oil. Place the salmon, skin side up, in the hot skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until the seasonings form a crisp crust. Turn the salmon pieces over and cook another 2 minutes until salmon reaches desired doneness. Divide the slaw between four plates and top each with a serving of salmon.
Serving Suggestion
