Recipe 1: Blackened Salmon with Mango-Avocado Salsa
Ingredients:
1½ to 2 pounds wild salmon fillets, boneless and skin on
3 teaspoons melted grassfed butter
1 garlic clove, crushed
1½ tsp paprika
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp oregano
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp chili powder
½ tsp cracked pepper
¼ tsp thyme
¼ tsp cayenne
1 large ripe mango, seeded, peeled and diced
1 large avocado, seeded and diced
¼ cup diced grape tomatoes
2 tablespoons diced red onion
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions:
1. Slice the salmon evenly into 4 to 6 smaller fillets.
2. Combine the butter and all of the spices in a bowl. Rub all over both sides of the salmon. Leave at room temperature while the grill heats.
3. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
4. Meanwhile, combine the salsa ingredients together in a bowl and store in the refrigerator while the fish cooks.
5. Sear the salmon, skinless side down first. Close the grill lid. Cook 1-3 minutes on the first side, depending on how thick the fillets are. (Try not to move them until you are going to flip them over to help keep them in one piece.)
6. Using tongs and a metal spatula in the other hand, carefully turn the fish over, so that the skin side is down, and reduce the heat to medium. For charcoal grills, finish cooking over indirect heat furthest from the coals.
7. Close the grill lid and finish cooking for another 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
8. Salmon should be just barely opaque and will start to flake along the center of the fillet when done.
9. Serve hot with the mango-avocado salsa spooned over it.

2. Rub salmon on both sides with blackening (or Cajun) seasoning. Grill until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
3. Mash avocado and mayonnaise in a small bowl.
4. To assemble sandwiches, spread some of the avocado mixture on each roll and top with salmon, arugula, tomato and onion.
Recipe 3: Blackened Salmon
Ingredients: 4
boneless Salmon Fillets,
4 to 6 ounces each, 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick
1 stick melted butter
Blackened seasoning
Instructions:
1. Prepare the blackened seasoning and set aside. Heat your cast iron skillet. Heat the skillet over your highest setting for about 10 minutes until its very hot. When ready, the bottom of skillet will be ashy white.
2. Rinse your salmon fillets under running cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Dip the fillets one at a time in the melted butter, ensuring both sides of the fillet are covered with butter. Remove fish from butter and then without sitting the fish down sprinkle fish on both sides generously with seasoning, patting by hand. Repeat this step for the second piece of salmon.
3. Place 2 pieces of salmon fillets into the hot cast iron skillet and cook for 4 to 6 minutes turning fillets over once, halfway through cooking. Pour 1 teaspoon of melted butter over the top of the fillets initially and another on top of the fillets when you turn it over at the halfway point.

Recipe 6: Cajun-style blackened salmon with spring onions, roasted sweetcorn, honeyed lemons and yoghurt dressing
Ingredients:
pinch ground paprika
pinch chilli powder
pinch dried chilli flakes
pinch cayenne pepper
pinch sea salt
150g/5½oz salmon fillet, skin removed
1 tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves, unpeeled
300ml/12fl oz vegetable oil, for deep frying
100g/3½oz self-raising flour
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ tsp ground turmeric
150ml/¼ pint sparkling water
3 tbsp chopped fresh chives
4 spring onions, halved lengthways
1 tbsp olive oil
1 sweetcorn cob
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
2 lemons, halved
1 tbsp honey
250g/9oz Greek-style yoghurt
3 tbsp honey
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 spring onions, roughly chopped
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
small handful fresh parsley, chopped
Preparation:
1. For the salmon, place all the spices and salt into a bowl and mix together.
2. Place the salmon on top of the spices and rub slightly to ensure all the spices have stuck to one side of the salmon.
3. Heat the olive oil in a small frying pan, add the whole unpeeled cloves of garlic and the salmon (spiced-side down) and roast for four minutes.
4. Flip over, remove the pan from the heat and leave to continue cooking slightly off the heat- until the salmon is cooked through.
5. For the spring onions, place the vegetable oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed saucepan and heat until a small cube of bread sizzles and turns golden when dropped into it. (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.) Put the flour in a large bowl with the salt and freshly ground black pepper and turmeric and slowly whisk in the water a little at a time until you have a thick batter. Stir in the chives.
6. Dip the spring onions into the batter and then gently lower into the hot oil. Deep fry for 3-4 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper. Sprinkle with a little sea salt.
7. For the roasted sweetcorn, heat the oil in a frying pan. Scrape a sharp knife down the length of the corn cob to remove all the corn kernels. Put the corn kernels into the hot oil and fry for one minute. Set aside and keep warm.
8. For the honeyed lemons, heat the olive oil in a frying pan, add the halved lemons cut-side down and roast for 3-4 minutes. Drizzle with the honey and roast for one minute.
9. For the dressing, mix together all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
10. To serve, place the spring onions onto a serving plate, top with the blackened salmon, pour over the dressing and then scatter the roasted corn over the top. Place the honeyed lemons on the side.
