Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 pound fresh salmon fillet, skinless, cut into 2 pieces (not too thick or cooking time will increase)
Blackening Spice, recipe follows
1 (12-ounce) can "soy" black beans, drained (available at health food and specialty stores)
4 cups fresh spinach, cleaned
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Sour cream, for garnish
5 tablespoons kosher salt
5 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon dry thyme
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large heavy saute pan or iron skillet over high heat until almost smoking hot.
  • Coat the salmon fillets well on both sides with the blackening spice and place gently in the hot pan. Sear on the first side for about 2 minutes and then flip fish over. Add the black beans to 1 corner of the pan and throw in the fresh spinach and butter right on top of everything and cook it all for about 2 minutes more.
  • To serve, take the spinach off the top and place it on the bottom of a plate. Then arrange the salmon and black beans around it. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
  • Mix all the blackening spice ingredients well and store in a sealed container or spice canister. Keep extra as a versatile spice in your kitchen.
