Below are two great recipes that we have made in the past. The Crisp Bean Burritos are a quick and easy lunch or dinner idea. I love the Blackened Salmon! It reminds me of the Blackened Salmon we sometimes purchase at Sam's Club. Cook up some of the salmon and make your own fish tacos. A favorite combination in our family is to serve the blackened salmon in (or along side) tortillas with spinach and/or romaine lettuce, croutons, shredded Parmesan cheese, and Cesar dressing (this is a favorite in our house).

Preheat oven to 400. Heat oil in a medium-sized skillet. Spread about 2-3 Tbsp of refried beans on each tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, then roll up. Fry in oil for about 15 seconds on each side. Then place on baking sheet and put in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes. Remove from oven and serve. Dip in enchilada sauce, guacamole, sour cream, or salsa.

Blackened Salmon
from The Sisters Dish
Print Recipe

4 salmon fillets, ~1/2 inch thick
3 1/2 Tbsp butter
juice of one lemon
2 1/2 Tbsp paprika
3/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp ground thyme
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper, or course ground

Melt butter in an oven safe skillet, add lemon juice. Mix all seasonings together in a bowl. Dip each salmon fillet (both sides) in the butter and lemon juice. Dip both sides in seasoning until well coated. Cook the salmon fillet for about 2 minutes per side in the skillet, until blackened. Remove salmon and place on a plate. Repeat with the remaining salmon until all are blackened. Place the salmon fillets back in the skillet. Bake at 400 for approx. 8 minutes, until cooked through.
