Blackened Salmon with Avocado Salad

As you read out the amount of spices I have used for the salmon it seems as if it might be a little too much, but salmon is a meaty fish which can handle robust flavours.

This recipe should easily serve four.

What you will need:
  • One teaspoon of paprika
  • One teaspoon of chilli powder
  • One teaspoon of cayenne pepper
  • One teaspoon of garlic powder
  • Four Salmon fillets, Skin on
  • Three tablespoons of Olive Oil, or any oil you have at that...
For the Salad, You will need:
  • One head of romaine lettuce leaves, Washed and
  • Six radishes, thinly sliced,
  • Two large avocados, Remove the stone and slice thinly
  • Six spring onions, Sliced
For the Dressing, You will need:
  • One tablespoon of Olive oil
  • One tablespoon of white wine vinegar
  • One garlic clove , peeled and very finely minced, as chunks of raw garlic can be extremely over powering.
  •  handful of freshly snipped chives
  • Sea salt and black pepper
Now , Preheat your grill to a high heat.
On a large plate simply place all your spices onto it and mix , Drizzle your salmon fillets with oil and place straight down into the spice mix on one side, Simple really.
Place on a grill tray and cook for ten minutes until the top is ever so slightly charred but ensuring the fish is cooked through!
While the fish is doing its thing, prepare your salad dressing by whizzing up the ingredients in a hand blender until smooth, Season.
On a large serving platter arrange your salad ingredients to your , Drizzle over the dressing and last but not least arrange the salmon fillets on top.
Enjoy.
