How to Make Cajun Blackened Salmon With Pureed Peas And Door Stop Fries
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and cut potatoes into wedges. Toss with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder (if using). Spread on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- While fries are baking, prepare the pea puree: melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add frozen peas and cook for 5 minutes, or until tender.
- Puree the peas using an immersion blender or transfer to a regular blender and blend until smooth. Stir in heavy cream, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Season salmon fillets generously with Cajun seasoning on both sides.
- Heat remaining vegetable oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon for 2-3 minutes per side, until blackened and cooked through.
- Serve the blackened salmon over the pea puree and alongside the crispy doorstop fries. Enjoy!
