Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 pieces of skinless Salmon, about 3-4 ounces each
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2- 2 1/2 tablespoons Cajun Seasoning (or use store-bought)
  • 2 teaspoons high heat oil- avocado, coconut, ghee, more as needed.
  • Buns (try these Quick Sourdough Buns), Brioche buns or any soft bun will work here!
  • Dilly Ranch Dressing, Creamy Herby Hemp Dressing (or use store-bought Creamy Ranch)
  • Lettuce, spinach and sprouts
  • Red onion, sliced thin (or sub pickled red onions)
  • Cucumber, sliced thin
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instruction

  • Let salmon sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes. This will help the fish cook evenly.
  • Make the Cajun Seasoning, stirring to combine.
  • Make the Dilly Ranch Dressing(or use store-bought ranch)
  • Start heating a pan (cast iron or carbon steel work great) to medium-high.  Meanwhile, pat the salmon dry and lightly coat with olive oil.  Sprinkle cajun seasoning onto the filet, coating thoroughly about 2 teaspoons per piece.  Press the spice into the fish to help it adhere.  To the warmed pan add 1-2 teaspoons of high heat oil, avocado oil is great. Immediately place salmon on the pan, seasoning side down.  Leave it alone, no fiddling!  About 4 minutes, flip over and cook for another 3-6 minutes. This will depend on the thickness of your filets.
  • Toss your greens in a bowl with dressing.  Toast the bun.  Layer on salmon, cucumber, onion and greens.  Serve with extra dressing on the side.
