Method

For the Blackened Salmon

  1. 1

    Prep the Salmon

    Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. This helps the seasoning stick better.

  2. 2

    Season the Salmon

    Rub both sides of the salmon fillets with cajun seasoning evenly.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  4. 4

    Cook the Salmon

    Place the seasoned salmon fillets in the hot skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and has a blackened crust.

For the Salad

  1. 5

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large bowl, add the mixed greens as the base of the salad.

  2. 6

    Add Toppings

    Top the mixed greens with grilled pineapple, crumbled feta cheese, and pumpkin seeds.

For the Grilled Pineapple Vinaigrette

  1. 7

    Blend the Dressing

    In a blender, combine the grilled pineapple, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

  2. 8

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the vinaigrette over the prepared salad and toss gently to combine.

To Serve

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    Place the blackened salmon fillets on top of the tossed salad and serve immediately.
