Ingredients: 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each); 2 tbsp olive oil, divided; 1 tsp garlic salt and pepper blend; 1 tsp smoked paprika; 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning; 1 tbsp ghee (clarified butter); 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped; 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped; 1 celery stalk, finely diced; 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced; 2 tbsp hot and sweet jalapeños, chopped; 2 tbsp cream cheese; 1 tbsp mayonnaise; 1/2 lemon, juiced; 1 croissant, for serving

1

Drizzle salmon fillets with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season generously with garlic salt and pepper blend, smoked paprika, and Cajun seasoning. Rub the seasonings into the fish until fully coated.

2

Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the ghee in a skillet over medium-high heat.

3

Once the skillet is hot, carefully place the salmon fillets in the pan. Pan-sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until blackened and cooked through.

4

Remove the salmon from the heat and set aside to rest and cool slightly.

5

While the salmon rests, finely chop the fresh parsley, dill, celery, red onion, and hot and sweet jalapeños.

6

Once cooled, use your hands or a fork to flake the cooked salmon into a large mixing bowl.

7

To the bowl with the flaked salmon, add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and all the chopped vegetables and herbs.

8

Mix everything together until well combined.

9

Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the salad for brightness and give it a final mix.

10

Toast a croissant, then pile the salmon salad on top to serve.
