Cajun salmon is a quick and easy dinner recipe that is bursting with flavor. Cajun seasoned salmon is quickly seared until blacked, then a little cream (or dairy-free cashew cream) is added to the pan to make a creamy cajun sauce. It's delicious!

Steps:
- Mix the seasoning ingredients together in a small bowl. Reserve about ½ tablespoon of the seasoning then sprinkle the remaining evenly over the top of the salmon.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the salmon to the pan, top side facing down. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the side of the salmon that is facing the pan is well-browned (blackened). Flip the salmon over and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked. It should reach an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the salmon from the pan.
- Add the cream and the reserved ½ tablespoon of cajun seasoning to the pan. Simmer for about 1 minute, or until the cream reduces slightly. Serve the salmon with the cajun cream sauce poured over the top and a little minced parsley for color.

- Warm a cast iron skillet to medium heat for 5 minutes. Melt butter in the pan, swirling around to coat the bottom and sides. Season both sides of the salmon fillets with the Cajun seasoning, rubbing most of the seasoning onto the skinless side.
- Place salmon in the hot pan, skin side down. Turn down the heat to medium-low. Sear for 6 minutes, without touching, or until the edges start to look cooked and slightly crisp. Carefully flip to the other side. This should be very easy and the skin should not stick to the bottom of the ban. Continue cooking for 3 to 4 minutes, depending on the size of your fillets.
- Keep in mind that the salmon will continue to cook as it is plated and served. Serve over a bed of sautéed spinach or Rice Pilaf and a garnish of basil.
