Cajun Salmon over Polenta

  • About
  • About

PART OF: NUTRITION SERVICES FOR CANCER PATIENTS > ALL RECIPES

Prep Time:  5 minutes

Cook Time:  20 minutes

Serves:  2

Per Serving:  1 salmon fillet & ⅔ cup polenta = 480 calories, 25g fat (7g saturated), 29g carbs, 34g protein, 3g fiber, 900mg sodium

NOTE:  This recipe is OK for those on the LMD (Low Microbial Diet), as long as the parmesan cheese is cooked after being added. Lactose free varieties for milk & cheese can be used for those on a dairy restriction.

Ingredients: 

2 5-ounce salmon fillets

1 Tbsp butter

1 Tbsp canola oil

2 Tbsp Cajun seasoning (see below)

¼ cup nonfat milk

1 ¼ tsp salt

2 Tbsps grated Parmesan cheese

½ cup med-grind or stone-ground cornmeal

Cooking Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F.
  2. Coat the salmon with Cajun seasoning; set aside.
  3. Heat a medium-size oven proof skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes. Add the butter and the oil. Let the butter melt until foam subsides. Sear the salmon, skin side up, about 3-4 minutes. Turn salmon over. Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake, uncovered, about 6-8 minutes, or until the salmon is moist and slightly pink in the center.
  4. In a medium-size saucepan, heat 1 ½ cups water, the milk, and salt to boiling. Gradually whisk in the cornmeal, a little at a time, whisking constantly. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat. Stir in the cheese. Serve the salmon over the polenta.
  5. Cajun Seasoning:
    Mix together 1 Tbsp paprika, 1 Tbsp salt, 1 Tbsp garlic powder, 2 tsp black pepper, 1 Tbsp onion powder, 1 Tbsp cayenne pepper, 2 Tbsp dried oregano, 1 Tbsp dried thyme. 
    *Can be altered in any way: if less spicy is desired, use less or no cayenne pepper; less salt; or omit any seasoning not desired!
  6. Time Savers:
    Instead of making your own polenta, buy polenta in a tube, slice and heat as directed on the package.
    Sprinkle the desired amount of seasoning and bake in a 425° oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
