Salmon With Crawfish Sauce Food

EASY CAJUN SALMON

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.

SALMON WITH CRAWFISH SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix the yogurt, sour cream, and garlic and allow to rest in the refrigerator over night if possible.
• Make a paste of the cornstarch and milk.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Preheat an oiled skillet to the smoke point.
• Brush or spray one side of the filet with the remaining olive oil. Coat that side with the seeds. Carefully lay the filet in the hot skillet and sear it to a golden brown crust. Do not turn the fish. Place skillet in the oven and bake for 4 minutes.
• While the fish is baking, slowly bring the yogurt mixture to a simmer, stirring continuously. If you are too aggressive the sauce will break. This is not a disaster, but it doesn't look as good. Add the cornstarch milk and stir in the crawfish tails and cook until the tails are warm.
• Plate the fish and cover with the sauce. It will need some salt. Your call as to how much.
