For the Salsa Verde

Add chicken to a medium sized pot or pan then cover with chicken broth. Sprinkle in Cajun seasoning, chipotle pepper, and sauce then add Land O Lakes® Butter with Canola Oil.

Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and cook covered for about 20 minutes. Remove chicken and place in a separate bowl and allow it to cool to room temperature.

Once cooled, shred chicken with a fork or knife or even with a hand mixer, then toss with ½ cup of the premade salsa verde and sour cream, if desired, and set aside.

For the Chicken

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Add 1 tablespoon Land O Lakes® Butter with Canola Oil to a pan and melt over medium-high heat. Add 1 corn tortilla and cook for about 10-15 seconds then flip over and cook again for another 10-15 seconds. Remove from the pan and place on paper towels to drain. Repeat with all the tortillas (add more butter with canola oil as needed) until they are all warmed through.

Add ½ cup of salsa verde to the bottom of a greased or nonstick sprayed casserole dish and spread out.

Next add about 1 tablespoon prepared chicken to the center of each tortilla and roll it up. Add each filled tortilla seam down to the greased casserole dish and repeat until complete.

Pour the rest of the salsa over the top of the tortillas evenly, top with cheese, then finally cover with foil.

Bake for about 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for 5-10 minutes more until the cheese is completely melted.

Garnish with chopped red onion, chopped tomatoes, cilantro, and sour cream if desired and serve.

To Assemble

This Blackened Salmon packs incredible flavor and is so easy to make!  Cajun seasoning with hints of citrus coat the salmon then it is seared to perfection!

Blackened Salmon

Cajun Seasoning (to taste, you

(4 oz) fresh salmon fillets (also see note below on skin)

lemon

unsalted butter (or olive oil

Prep salmon by patting it dry first with a paper towel and then spreading a little butter and lemon juice directly on top. Allow the salmon to sit for 3-5 minutes.  Salmon shouldn’t be super moist so brushing the lemon on will help not to over saturate the fish. Adding the lemon juice first will also help provide additional flavor as the blackened portion of this recipe will come from the Cajun Seasoning and heat.

Preheat skillet with butter and a few additional drops of lemon juice. Cutting a thick slice off the lemon will allow you to squeeze juice directly from the slice! Also, feel free to leave the slice in the butter throughout the duration of the recipe. Medium to high heat is perfect to start melting the butter without overheating/burning. If the butter starts to get smoky or burn, remove the skillet, clean residue, and start over with step 2.

Add enough Cajun seasoning to cover the salmon filets. Liberally adding seasoning will help with the flavor but also the blackening as the process is complete with blackened spices AND heat.

Once skillet is hot, add seasoned filets (with the seasoned side down directly into the butter). As soon as it starts to sear, bring the heat to a low to medium heat as to not burn the fish. The skillet will be hot enough to finish searing the top of the salmon filets.

After approximately 4 minutes, carefully flip the salmon over. The top of the salmon should be blackened and ready to finish cooking with either the skin side or non blackened side down. Reduce the heat to a low to medium heat as the remainder of the salmon can finish cooking without the higher temperature.

Allow salmon to finish cooking for approximately 4 to 7 minutes depending on the cut and thickness of the salmon. Once the salmon starts to release the albumin (it seeps out when salmon is exposed to heat) monitor to make sure that it’s not drying out. Salmon should still be pink when it’s completely done cooking and easily flake. A little translucency in the middle is also a good indicator that the salmon is done cooking.

Remove salmon from skillet and serve hot (or not) and enjoy! Feel free to add additional lemon juice as a finish!

Plate with your favorite veggies, flake off for tacos, or add to leafy greens for an amazing and flavorful salad.
