Cajun Salmon Pasta This Cajun Salmon Pasta was a pretty quick recipe to put together and was a rousing success in our house for one of our picky eaters who isn't a big fan of salmon. It had just enough spice and adding the milk certainly gave it a richer texture. This was also a recipe that we recommend for those who are on a getting lean diet, especially if you make your choice of whole wheat as we did. Fitness and health experts tout the benefits of salmon as being low in calories and saturated fat while being high in protein and omega-3 essential fatty acids. For those looking to get leaner or just healthier it is also recommended that you consume fish twice a week. This is a delicious way to do so! 2 salmon fillets 1/2 medium thinly sliced onion 4 cloves garlic thinly sliced 1/2 medium green bell pepper thinly sliced 1/4 cup milk Blackened Seasoning to your taste Pinch of Sea Salt Pinch of Cracked Black Pepper 2 cups cooked pasta of your choice 4 teaspoons olive oil 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese 2 teaspoons Cilantro Directions: 1. Cook pasta as per package directions 2. Add 2-3 teaspoons olive oil to a medium nonstick skillet and warm over medium heat 3. Add onions, bell pepper and garlic and stir fry until crisp 4. Remove vegetables and set aside 5. Add 1 teaspoons oil to the skillet and turn up to medium high 6. Liberally pat the salmon with Blackened seasoning and place the fillets into the hot skillet 7. They will smoke and if outside is browning too rapidly lower the heat to medium to allow the inside to cook 8. Once the fillets are blackened flip them over 9. Drain pasta and add 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and stir 10. Heat the milk in a small saucepan until scalding and pour into the hot drained pasta 11. Add 1 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning to pasta 12. Once salmon is blackened on both sides spoon pasta onto serving plates top with fried vegetables 13. Break up the salmon into bite sized pieces and spoon over the top of the pasta and sprinkle parmesan and cilantro on top Serves: 2 |
