Red Lobster New Orleans Salmon Recipe
This dish combines blackened Atlantic salmon with shrimp in a rich Cajun butter sauce, topped with a fresh tomato-cilantro relish.A quick tip: make sure to season the salmon well before cooking to get that perfect crisp and flavor.The tantalizing taste of the Cajun spices balanced with the freshness of the relish is what I love most about this recipe.Cook the salmon fillets until they’re perfectly browned, which usually takes around 7-8 minutes.Don’t forget to serve it with lemon and your choice of two sides for a complete meal you won’t forget!

Instructions
