Cajun salmon

I looked in the Paleo recipe book once again to try and get inspiration about what to do with salmon. I found this recipe and thought that it sounds easy and tasty. The recipe is quite quick to make and depending on what you chose to have as a side dish you can have dinner ready in just over half an hour. Perfect for the days you come home tired from work. I served my salmon with some fried onion, bacon and spinach and also a couple of boiled beets.


Ingredients
(serves 2)
2 salmon fillets
½ tbsp cumin powder
½ tbsp coriander powder
½ tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp paprika
½ tbsp ground pepper
½ tbsp dried thyme
½ tsp dried oregano
grass-fed butter for frying

Combine all the spices in a bowl and season with sea salt to taste. Use the spice blend and rub the salmon fillets on both sides, cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Heat a frying pan on a high-heat and melt some cooking fat. Place the salmon fillets in the pan and cook for 2 minutes on the first side, without moving them. After 2 minutes, turn them over and cook for another 2 minutes.
