Blackened Salmon from Jael Robitaille

Here is that salmon recipe - there really is none better than this!!!

Blackened Cajun Salmon

4 8 oz. salmon fillets
2 T. margarine (I use Can't believe it's not butter)

Cajun Blackening Seasoning

1 T. paprika
1 t. garlic powder
1/2 t. cayenne
3/4 t. ground black pepper
1/2 t. ground thyme
1/2 t. oregano
1/2 t. dried basil
1 t. onion powder
2 t. salt

Mix all the seasonings together. Sprinkle liberally over salmon fillets.
Place seasoned fillets with 1/2 T. of margarine each in a very hot cast-iron
skillet (we grill). Sear for 2 min. then turn and blacken for another 2
min. Old cholestrol cookbook says, "This is a spicy dish and goes best with
a cold glass of beer." Serve with rice and carrots. Produces a lot of
smoke.
