Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 whole French baguette
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Capers, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 large leaves Lettuce leaves
- 2 whole Tomato, sliced
- 0.5 cup Pickles, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the salmon fillets. Generously coat each fillet with Cajun seasoning on all sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place the salmon fillets in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the salmon is blackened on the outside and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, prepare the remoulade sauce by combining mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped capers, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well and set aside.
Cut the French baguettes in half lengthwise. Toast the inner sides of the bread in a skillet with butter until golden and slightly crisp.
Assemble the sandwiches by spreading a generous amount of remoulade sauce on the bottom half of each toasted baguette.
Place a lettuce leaf on top of the sauce, followed by a cooked salmon fillet.
Add tomato slices, pickles, and any additional toppings of your choice.
Cover with the top half of the baguette and press gently to secure the sandwich.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dish or chips. Enjoy your Blackened Salmon Poor Boy Sandwiches!
