It’s time for some wonderful tasty seafood people!
I decided to cook Blackened Salmon with Yellow Rice, and Broccoli with Gorgonzola Cream Sauce!
Yep, I am getting fancy folks!
Salmon is my favorite fish!
I could really eat salmon everyday and there has been times when I’ve made salmon daily for a week straight.
Yep, I know cooking seafood is something I don’t do as much as I should, but Baby Girl and her food allergies puts a damper on my seafood cooking and eating.
I’ve been looking at this beautiful Wild Caught Alaskan Salmon for the last week and kept procrastinating about cooking it.
I would open the freezer and say, nope I’ll wait, I really don’t want my daughter giving me the evil eye because I am cooking seafood.
Yes, that’s what she does and as a mom that’s guilt 101 and I always give in and put the seafood back in the freezer.
Well Baby Girl is not home and I am sneaking, yes, sneaking and making me some Blackened Salmon.
This is another one of my 10 minute meals.
I seasoned the fish with all my favorite spices, placed it skin side up in a hot skillet with olive oil and cooked the salmon for about 7 minutes.
I always have yellow rice cooked and quickly boiled some broccoli for about 5 minutes in chicken broth, drained the broccoli and topped it with my famous Gorgonzola Cream Sauce.

Time to eat and enjoy!

I’ll try this soon, because I’ve been baking salmon almost everyday lately, but I’ve never considered the frying pan. I was just looking for a blackened salmon recipe yesterday, and you supply it! wow! and it looks so much better than my recipe.
Thanks!!!!
You’re welcome Stephanie! Enjoy.
I did it last night, and it was great! do you have any crawfish bread recipes?
Lisa, I am so happy that I found your page via Pinterest. I have copied down this delicious sounding pound cake and can’t wait to try it. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Wow, Contessa! We made this tonight, and it was both beautiful and yummy! Served with golden rice and with creole spiced, sauteed green beans-onions-&-peppers…. So satisfying! Thanks for a guide to a wonderful, straightforward, quick, etc., etc., date night supper!
Thanks so much for trying the recipe Rainah, I am so glad you enjoyed it!

Hi Contessa! I’m planning to make the salmon this week. Quick question, i noticed you mentioned butter, but I don’t see it listed in the directions. Am I missing something? Thanks for the excellent recipes!
Hello Tia, I didn’t use butter this time but a pat of butter before broiling want hurt. Enjoy
