Cajun Spiced Salmon Recipe
Servings: 4
The classic Cajun technique of blackening fish in a fragrant blend of herbs and spices lends itself well to an oily, flavorful fish such as salmon. Pair this dish with a zippy red wine, such as a California Zinfandel, or with a well-balanced rosé, for an interesting twist on food and wine pairing.
Ingredients:
2 tsp. salt
4 tsp. fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. sweet paprika
1 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
1 tsp. fennel seeds, crushed
4 salmon fillets, about 6 oz each, skin and pin bones removed
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. butter
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 400o F.
Mix first 7 ingredients together in a small bowl.
Drizzle 1 Tbsp. olive oil over the salmon fillets and rub fillets with the oil to cover.
Press the spice mixture onto the top side of each of the fillets, making sure to get a good even coating on each.
Heat a heavy bottomed, large sauté pan, preferably cast-iron, over high heat until very hot.
Add the remaining Tbsp. of olive oil to coat the pan.
Place the salmon fillets, seasoned side down, in the pan and add the butter.
Cook the salmon, without moving it, until the spices turn dark brown, 2-3 minutes.
Remove the salmon fillets from the pan and place, spice side up, on a baking sheet and place in the oven.
Bake the fish until it is just opaque in the center, or to your desired degree of doneness if you like it cooked more.
I DID NOT KNOW THIS!
Water or Coke? We all know that water is important but I’ve never seen it written like this before. and REMEMBER if you "SHARE" this post it will SAVE on your personal page so you can refer to it later.
WATER
1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.
3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism as much as 30%.
4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.
5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.
8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.
And now for the properties of COKE
1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.
3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the “real thing” sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.
4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
7.. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.
IMPORTANT INFO
1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.
2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly corrosive materials.
3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!
Now the question is, would you like a glass of water or coke?
