Method

Preparing the Blackened Salmon

  1. 1

    Season the Salmon

    Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Rub each fillet evenly with olive oil and then coat generously with blackening seasoning on all sides.

  2. 2

    Cook the Salmon

    Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the seasoned salmon fillets to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until blackened and cooked through. Serve with lemon wedges.

Making the Red Beans & Rice

  1. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and bell pepper, and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

  2. 4

    Cook the Beans and Rice

    Add the red beans, rice, chicken broth, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove bay leaf before serving.

Preparing the Fresh Fruit Salad

  1. 5

    Mix the Fruits

    In a large bowl, combine sliced strawberries, blueberries, and kiwi. Drizzle honey and lime juice over the fruit and gently toss to combine.

Making the Champagne Vinaigrette

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together champagne vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
