Make Blackened Salmon Or Halibut in just 1h . Fresh Atlantic Salmon smothered with Cajun spice, seared to perfection. Served with chef’s choice sautéed vegetables and wild rice.

Rub the Cajun spice mix generously over both sides of the salmon or halibut fillets.

In a pot, combine wild rice, water or broth, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes or until tender. Fluff with a fork.
