Blackened Salmon Fillets

Ingredients
• 2 tablespoons ground paprika
• 1 tablespoon ground cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 lb salmon (fillets, skin removed)
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (The original recipe calls for 1/2 cup butter)
• olive oil flavored cooking spray

Instructions
Step 1. In a small bowl, mix paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, salt, white pepper, black pepper, thyme, basil and oregano.

Step 2. Brush salmon fillets EVOO until moist, and sprinkle evenly with the cayenne pepper mixture. Mist with EVOO spray (I use Garlic flavored EVOO spray).

Step 3. In a large, heavy skillet over high heat, cook salmon, until blackened, 2 to 5 minutes. Turn fillets, brush with remaining EVOO , and continue cooking until blackened and fish is easily flaked with a fork.

Step 4. At this point, I bake at 400 for 10 minutes or until desired doneness (I like mine well done). If you don't like yours well done, skip the baking stage.

Spoon and spread a quarter of the meat mixture over the salsa, and follow with a quarter of grated cheese.

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons vodka
• 1 1/2 cups half-and-half cream
• 4 ounces low-fat cream cheese

• freshly-grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese

Instructions
Step 1. Cook the pasta in lots of boiling, salted water until dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2. In a large skillet, saute garlic in butter over medium heat for 2 minutes, careful not to let the garlic brown or burn. Add vodka and cook a further minute or so for alcohol to evaporate. Add half and half and cream cheese and whisk until the cream cheese has melted into the sauce. Add the pepper and simmer for 2 minutes.

Step 3. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and all of the smoked salmon. Keep tossing and cooking the pasta in the sauce for 1-2 minutes so that the pasta absorbs some of the sauce, but is still coated in a 'runny' and creamy sauce.

Step 4. Garnish at table with freshly-grated parmegiano-reggiano cheese and more freshly-cracked black pepper, as desired.
