Blackened Salmon

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!
