The Best Cajun Blackened Salmon Ever.

Submitted by likeamystic

"We eat a lot of salmon (at least once a week) and this is by far my favorite way of preparing it. It's really quite simple, and the end result is so delicious. The sweetness of the apple juice/white wine combined with the spiciness of the Cajun seasoning is amazing. The blackened texture of the fish is also great. Not your typical boring salmon!"

Easy and everyone should know how to cook a tasty meal, but I have some advice of my own. Let's see what else...everyone needs to know how bone a chicken, read a measuring cup, work the dishwasher, make a grocery list, check in at a Holiday Inn Express... I think I've said enough.

Guest worthy recipe! I added some Chili garlic paste as the Cajan spice I had was not very spicy. Turned out great and super simple.

Made this last week. We used salmon fillets which are super easy to make. Pretty much put the spice on and blackened in a cast iron skillet on the stove. It turned out great and I should have fresh fish at lease once a week.
