Pan-grilled Cajun Marinated Salmon
INGREDIENTS (Serves 2)
2 x 6oz salmon fillets sliced in half
2 cloves of garlic, halved
Olive oil
Cajun spice: (If you would like to make your own.)
1 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp curry powder
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tbsp black peppercorns
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 chili flakes
2 tbsp sea salt
METHOD
Cajun Spice:
Dry-roast the peppercorns, coriander,
mustard and cumin seeds in a thick-bottomed frying pan
over a moderate heat. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes
until the spices start to release their aroma. Allow to cool.
Add the rest of the ingredients and grind with pestle and mortar or food processor.
In a large bowl, add 2 tbsp of bbq spice mix to 2 tbsp of olive oil and garlic
Marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes.
Heat a frying pan
Add 1 Tbsp of oil
Grill the salmon skin side down for 3 minutes
Turn over and grill for a further 3-4 minutes
Serve with vegetables and potatoes or a salad
Or as in this case with a Vegan Paella
