Preparation

1

Prepare Cajun Spice Mix

In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

2

Season the Fish

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

3

Cook Wild Rice

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.

Cooking

Sauté Vegetables

In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add bell peppers and zucchini. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender.

Blacken the Fish

In another pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned fish fillets. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until blackened and cooked through. Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the fillets.
