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.

- In a shallow dish or zip lock bag whisk together 1 tbsp cajun seasoning, lime juice and olive oil with 1/4 tsp salt and pepper (or to taste). Add in salmon and give the fillets an even coating of the marinade. Pop over cling film and allow to rest at room temp for up to 20mins.
- In a large non-stick pan over medium high heat add in the salmon fillets up-side-down (i.e 'skin' side down) and fry for 3mins, or until golden. Carefully flip over and make space for butter.
- Drop in 2 tbsp butter and baste the salmon for 1-2mins, or until the other side starts to turn golden. By this point the salmon should be close to cooked in the centre, but not fully. Just nice and golden on the outside. You can tell it's cooked when the salmon starts to flake. Also look at the sides. Remove salmon and place to one side.
- Lower heat to medium and add onion to the leftover butter. Fry until it begins to soften/turn golden then add garlic and fry for another couple of mins. Add in sun dried tomatoes and 1 tbsp cajun seasoning and fry for 1 min, then pour in wine and use you wooden spoon to deglaze the pan. Allow the wine to reduce right down (important to burn off the alcohol) then pour in stock and cream.
