Cajun Baked Salmon

• 1 tbsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp paprika powder
• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

This is an excellent dry rub for salmon.

Make up a big batch some time and keep it in a jar.

Rub spices into all sides of the salmon (remove skin!).

Bake salmon at 325F for 12-14 minutes on foil-lined baking pan.

I usually elevate the salmon by cooking it over sliced onions or partially cooked green beans.

For an elegant, no effort meal:

• Partially microwave fresh green beans while rubbing salmon with spices.
• Place green beans on baking pan, place salmon over green beans, bake 325F for 12 minutes.
• Mix 1 cup boiling water, 1 tsp chicken boullion, 1 cup cous-cous and cover for 5 minutes.

Done. 15 minutes out the door, healthy, elegant, and near impossible to mess up.

Pan Fried Catfish

This always turns out great for me. Sometimes you can use frozen “Swai” fish, which is basically asian catfish.

• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 3 tbsp parmesan cheese
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 3 tbsp fresh parsely, finely chopped
• Salt and Pepper

---

• 2 eggs, lightly scrambled

---

• 4 fillets white fish (catfish, flounder)

---

• Vegetable oil

---

• Lemon

Mix dry ingredients in a wide, shallow pie plate.

Dip fillet in egg then dredge in bread crumb mixture.

Heat oil over medium/medium-high heat.

Cook 3 minutes one side, flip, 2 minutes other side.

For thicker fish, fry then bake in preheated oven, 350 degrees for 5 minutes.
