I made Cajun salmon again tonight. I've never made salmon any other way and I really must try something new, but I just love Cajun salmon. I also boiled rice and sauteed some collard greens. The combination of spicy, sweet, and slightly salty was very nice.
Boiled Rice
water to fill medium sauce pan
1/2 cup rice
1 tsp salt
1/2 tbsp butter
Bring water to a boil.
Add rice and salt and boil until tender (the water should not all cook off, it should be like boiling pasta - too much water for the rice).
Drain in a sieve, then put back in the pan.
Add the butter and stir until melted.
Collard Greens
1 tbsp ghee
1/4 c red onion, sliced thin
1 large garlic clove, peeled and crushed
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1 large bunch collard greens, torn and washed well
2 tsp to 1 tbsp honey
Heat pan over medium to medium-high heat and add ghee.
Once ghee is hot, add onion and saute for one minute.
Add garlic clove and red pepper and saute until onions are translucent.
Add collard greens and cover, stirring occasionally.
Once greens are too desired tenderness (I don't like mushy greens, so I leave a little bite), drizzle with honey and stir.

Yum. Cajun salmon is good, but the "salmon" gets a bit lost in the spices. You can also poach salmon with a bit of Adobo or salt and pepper. That, with some Japanese rice and furikake (Japanese rice topping with seaweed and salty bits), and a vegetable. :) It's done in about 15 minutes! Perfect meal!!
That sounds very good. I'll have to try it. As for the salmon getting lost, the trick is to only dust either side of the salmon with the seasoning. That way it adds flavor without overpowering the fish.
