How to Make Blackened Salmon Poor Boy Sandwiches

  1. **Prepare the Cajun Spice:** In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for your Cajun spice mix (recipe below). Store in an airtight container for later use.
  2. **Make the Spicy Mayo:** In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and 1-2 teaspoons of Cajun seasoning. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with salt, pepper, or more Cajun spice.
  3. **Sear the Salmon:** Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat (not high heat as initially stated). Lightly oil both sides of the salmon fillets and generously sprinkle with remaining Cajun seasoning.
  4. **Blacken the Salmon:** Carefully place the salmon in the hot skillet. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through and blackened. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fillets and the heat of your pan.
  5. **Assemble the Poor Boys:** Spread 1 tablespoon of the spicy mayonnaise mixture on each bottom half of the French rolls.
  6. **Top and Serve:** Top each roll with a blackened salmon fillet, 2 slices of tomato, and 1/4 cup of shredded cabbage. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Cajun creation!
