Blackened Salmon Sandwich! A succulent crispy crusted cajun spiced salmon fillet tucked into a sourdough bun with fresh greens and drizzled with Dilly Ranch.
INGREDIENTS
- 4 pieces of skinless Salmon, about 3–4 ounces each
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2– 2 1/2 tablespoons Cajun Seasoning (or use store-bought)
- 2 teaspoons high heat oil- avocado, coconut, ghee, more as needed.
- Brioche buns or any soft bun will work here!
- Dilly Ranch Dressing, Creamy Herby Hemp Dressing (or use store-bought Creamy Ranch)
- Lettuce, spinach and sprouts
- Red onion, sliced thin (or sub pickled red onions)
- Cucumber, sliced thin
Cajun Spice Seasoning
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4–1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Let salmon sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes. This will help the fish cook evenly.
- Make the Cajun Seasoning, stirring to combine.
- Make the Dilly Ranch Dressing(or use store-bought ranch)
- Blacken the Salmon: Start heating a pan (cast iron or carbon steel work great) to medium-high. Meanwhile, pat the salmon dry and lightly coat with olive oil. Sprinkle cajun seasoning onto the filet, coating thoroughly about 2 teaspoons per piece. Press the spice into the fish to help it adhere. To the warmed pan add 1-2 teaspoons of high heat oil, avocado oil is great. Immediately place salmon on the pan, seasoning side down. Leave it alone, no fiddling! About 4 minutes, flip over and cook for another 3-6 minutes. This will depend on the thickness of your filets.
- Assemble your sandwich: Toss your greens in a bowl with dressing. Toast the bun. Layer on salmon, cucumber, onion and greens. Serve with extra dressing on the side.
And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
