- 16 ounces complete caesar salad in a bag (or 2 - 8 ounce packages)
- 4 (4 ounce) salmon fillets, skin off (can substitute Pacific Cod or Halibut or Tilapia)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground fennel

- 1 teaspoon new mexico chile powder
- 2 teaspoons spanish paprika
- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
directions
- Mix all dry ingredients together to make blackening spice mix. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. (Note: If desired, you can use about 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil.).
- Coat each fillet with spice blend by dredging fish, knock off excess by tapping filet against the side of the container. Place fillets in hot skillet. Cook until well browned, about 5 minutes. Flip fillets; cook through, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to plate; set aside.
- To assemble salads, toss the salad kit ingredients in a medium bowl. Divide the salad onto the four plates and lay a piece of salmon on each. Fish may also be broken into large chunks and tossed in with the salad.
- Finish with a drizzle of Caesar salad dressing.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
