For the Pasta:

* 12 oz (340 g) rotini pasta

For Garnish:

7\. Combine the Pasta: Add the cooked rotini to the skillet and toss until coated in the creamy garlic Parmesan Caesar sauce. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.

8\. Add the Chicken: Slice the rested chicken into strips and arrange over the pasta. Spoon extra sauce over the chicken.

9\. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and crushed croutons if desired. Serve immediately while warm and creamy.

* 2 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
* 1 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
* 1 tsp red chili powder

Blackened Salmon

Ingredients

* 4 salmon fillets
* 2 tbsp butter, melted
* 1 tbsp olive oil
* 1½ tbsp paprika
* 1 tsp garlic powder
* 1 tsp onion powder
* 1 tsp dried thyme
* ½ tsp dried oregano
* ½ tsp cayenne pepper
* ½ tsp black pepper
* ½ tsp salt
* 1 tbsp lemon juice
* Lemon wedges, for serving
* Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This helps the seasoning stick and gives the salmon a better crust.

2. In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt.

3. Brush both sides of the salmon with melted butter, then generously coat each fillet with the spice mixture.

4. Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.

5. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down if they have skin. Cook for 3–4 minutes without moving them so the spices form a dark, flavorful crust.

6. Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 3–4 minutes, depending on the thickness, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

7. Drizzle the salmon with fresh lemon juice and remove from the heat.

8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Enjoy this smoky, spicy, buttery Blackened Salmon with garlic rice, roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
