Instructions
For the salad dressing:
-
We are using our own delicious salad creamy mayonnaise based salad dressing for this recipe! Please refer to this recipe! https://www.delishbuzz.com/easiest-mayonnaise-salad-dressing/
For making blackened seasoning:
-
Blend all the herbs and spices together in a regular blender or a mortar pestle. (See notes) You will have plenty of seasoning left. Believe me you will need it. Because you will be making this often! :)
For making the salmon
-
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan on medium-high heat. Wash and pat the salmon pieces dry. Then coat the salmon with the blackened seasoning and salt. Pan fry the salmon 3-4 minutes on each side (depending on how thick is your salmon). Remove it from the pan and let the salmon rest, let the juice run through and it will continue to cook. Resulting in a juicier salmon.
Assembling the salad
-
Mix all rest of the ingredients together. Place your salmon on your salad and pour on the delicious dressing.
Recipe Notes
Notes:
- For the blackened seasoning - It is best to make it fresh and use immediately. Even if the spices are ground, milling it in a mortar and pestle will bring out the aromas and flavors in a hurry. We usually grind the spices with some salt which gives the coarse consistency to bring out all the flavors or just use a blender and give it a pulse.
