Cajun BBQ Salmon w/ Creole Beer Rice + A Cajun Waltz

It's been hotter than hot in Cajun country and too hot to heat up the kitchen, so what could be easier than grilling up some nice salmon fillets on the patio . The sauce is a family fave and adds a sweet, delectable flavor with a good dose of heat. I like to serve these with my Creole Beer Rice (recipe below) and a big tossed  salad and wash it all down with a nice glass of white wine. Cest bon, cher! Enjoy!

Cajun BBQ Salmon

2 tbs.'s olive oil
2 tbs.'s minced garlic
1 tbs. Cajun seasoning
4 salmon portions

1/2 cup Cajun BBQ Sauce (recipe below)
2 tbs.'s brown sugar
2 green onions, sliced

In shallow pan, drizzle olive oil over salmon portions and season with Cajun seasoning and top with minced garlic, and cover and marinate in fridge for 15 minutes. In small bowl, mix the next three ingredients and mix well. Grill fish, bottom side up, on a medium hot grill for 2 minutes, then flip and grill on other side for 2 minutes, to sear. Brush with sauce and grill for 2 more minutes, flip over and brush other side with sauce and grill for 2 more minutes or until fish flakes with a fork. Fab!

 Creole Beer Rice 

1 bunch green onions, sliced thin
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Dissolve bouillion cubes in boiling water in large saucepan. Stir in everything else and bring to a second boil.  Lower heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until liquid has been absorbed.

A Cajun Waltz 

Here's a little clip of the crowd enjoying a Cajun waltz at the Sunday afternoon dance at Whiskey River Dance Hall, in Henderson, La. Geno Delafose and French Rockin' Boogie were entertaining the crowd, with Jamie Bergeron on the vocals. Let the good times roll, cher!



Hope ya'll are all having a fun and fabulous weekend! Merci beaucoup for coming by!
