- 1 teaspoon blackening seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ head romaine lettuce, sliced thin
- ½ head red cabbage, sliced thin
- 1 avocado, diced
- ½ small red onion, sliced thin
- 1 cup shredded sharp white cheddar
- 1 cup pineapple salsa or 1 cup diced pineapple mixed with cilantro and minced onion
- 2 corn tortillas, cut into strips
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- For the Buttermilk Cilantro
Dressing:

- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 tablespoon cilantro, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
PREP THE GRILL
Preheat the grill over high heat.
Scrape the grill grates clean and coat the grates with a thin coating of high-heat oil such as canola.
SEASON THE SALMON
Season salmon fillet with the blackening seasoning and salt.
GRILL THE SALMON
Grill the salmon, flesh side down for 5 minutes. Flip, then cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. A thin fillet of salmon will need less time to cook on both sides.
MAKE THE DRESSING
Whisk all of the dressing ingredients together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
MIX THE SALAD
In a large bowl combine the lettuce, cabbage, red onion, avocado, sharp cheddar, and pineapple salsa.
MAKE THE TORTILLA STRIPS
Heat the canola oil over medium high heat in a skillet. Fry the tortilla strips until crispy. Remove the tortilla strips to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt.
SERVE
Toss the salad with the dressing and serve in individual plates topped with flakes of the blackened salmon. Garnish with crispy tortilla strips.
Pro tips
Pair it Up
Pair white wines or rosés from the Provence region of France with this provencal fish stew.
Spice It Up
If you are fortunate enough to find sablefish (black cod) tips, the meaty bits behind the jaw bones, use them in place of any firm white fish. The silky, firm texture and rich flavor elevates this rustic seafood stew.
Swap in 1 cup thinly sliced fresh fennel for the fennel seeds for a more authentic Provençal flavor.
