Cajun Salmon over ravioli

 So...I have become really good at spoiling my eye sight and my sleep schedule by watching a lot of minute long reels all over the internet. One of those shorts on youtube was about this recipe "Copy Cat Cheese Cake factory Cajun Salmon over mashed potatoes".

So I followed it pretty much and served it over spinach and cheese ravioli along with Kale creamy sauce. It was super delicious.

Cajun Salmon over ravioli (Pan fried salmon with cajun spices)

Cajun seasoned salmon

Ingredients:

1. 6 pieces salmon fillets with skin
2. 2-3 tablespoons oil
3. 1 tablespoon butter
4. 1 big or 2 medium garlic chopped fine
5. salt to taste
6. 1-1.5 cups cream
7. 1 bunch kale stripped off the hard veins, washed and roughly chopped

Ingredients for Cajun Seasoning (or store bought)

1. 1/4 cup each of paprika, garlic powder, chilli powder or chilli flakes, black pepper
2. 1⁄3 cup dry oregano 

With serving with Ravioli, cook the ravioli according to package directions

Mix all the ingredients together for the Cajun seasoning and store in a tight lidded jar.

wash and dry the salmon fillets. Lay then skin side down and sprinkle with some salt. Sprinkle generously with the cajun season. set aside.

Heat oil in a non stick pan. Sear the salmon skin side down for 3 minutes on medium high heat. Flip the salmon fillets carefully and season the skin with salt lightly and lighlty with the cajun seasoning. Fry them for 3 minutes (My salmon fillets were not very thick. They got cooked on the stove top itself, so I skipped the oven)

Drain and place it on a grill skin side down so that they don't sweat and become soggy

NOTE: if the Salmon fillets are over 1.5 inches thick, finish cooking them in a 350 degrees pre heated oven for 3-4 minutes

In the same pan reduce the heat to medium low add the butter and garlic and fry for 30 seconds. Add about 1 tablespoon of the cajun seasoning and add the kale if using and fry for 2 minutes. Add the creme and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add the cooked ravioli and cook further for 2 more minutes. Sprinkle with 1-2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese if desired (I skipped this as my fam doesn't like it)

Spoon 5-6 ravioli on a plate. Top with with Salmon and add some more sauce on top. Enjoy!
