Blackened Salmon Pasta Food

BLACKENED SALMON

Steps:

• Each steak works best if it is about 3/4 inches thick, especially when using a cast iron skillet. Coat each stake with the butter (or olive oil) and let sit while the rest of the butter/olive oil heats up in the pan. After about 10 minutes, coat each stake on both sides with the seasoning mix and let it cook for around 2 minutes uncovered. Afterwards, flip it over and cook the stakes until they are a nice pink color inside. The time that it takes to cook each stake determines on how large they are.

DATE NIGHT BLACKENED SALMON PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil and spray foil with nonstick spray.
• Combine paprika, cumin, salt, onion, garlic, pepper, and seafood seasoning in a small bowl; mix to combine. Set aside 1 teaspoon seasoning for the pasta sauce.
• Rub remaining seasoning over salmon fillets and set on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add garlic and saute until golden, about 30 seconds. Add panko and reserved 1 teaspoon of seasoning. Cook and stir, being careful not to burn, until panko are lightly toasted, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and transfer panko to a small bowl.
• Place spinach in a colander and set in the sink. Drain the spaghetti over the spinach; the hot water should instantly wilt the spinach. Transfer drained pasta and spinach to the skillet. Add butter and red pepper flakes and toss to coat.
• Distribute noodles evenly between 2 bowls, and top each with a salmon fillet, panko, and Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

BLACKENED SALMON PASTA

Steps:

• Set salmon fillets on a plate with flesh-sides up; brush the tops with melted butter.
• Combine paprika, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, black pepper, white pepper, basil, and thyme for seasoning in a small bowl. Sprinkle seasoning evenly over top of the salmon fillets, then lightly press the spices down onto the fish.
• Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. When the pan is hot, place salmon, flesh-side down, into the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then carefully flip. Continue to cook until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 6 more minutes. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Toss with olive oil to keep it from sticking together.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, bell peppers, onion, and garlic; saute until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove vegetable mixture from the pan and add it to the bowl with the linguine.
• Drain the excess liquid from the saucepan. Add remaining 6 tablespoons butter to the pan and reduce heat to medium. Stir in half-and-half, Cajun seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thick and bubbly, about 10 minutes. Gradually stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce has thickened.
• Pour sauce over the linguine and vegetable mixture. Add tomatoes and toss to combine.
• Serve pasta in bowls topped with blackened salmon, removing the skin, if desired. Garnish with parsley.

BLACKENED SALMON PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
• Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Coat lightly in 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil. Season with blackened seasoning.
• Heat remaining grapeseed oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat until it starts to smoke. Be sure to turn on your oven vent. Put salmon in the skillet and cook until it flakes easily with a fork, 4 to 4 1/2 minutes on each side (turning only to flip to the other side). Set salmon aside and let cool while you mix up the pasta salad.
• Combine drained pasta, pineapple, cucumber, onion, olives, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, banana peppers, bell peppers, tomato, and thyme in a large bowl. Mix well. Mix in mayonnaise and salad dressing, adjusting to taste. Flake the salmon and gently fold into the pasta salad.
