Blackened salmon

Soundtrack: None Shall Pass by Aesop Rock

Freedom from chili con carne! I enjoy that dish, but I am also happy to introduce some variety into my dinner again. To that end I chose to stray away from a standard meat entree. A long day at work did not leave me in a mood to prepare an elaborate meal this evening. Instead I purchased some salmon and spinach on the way home for blackened salmon. This let me cook everything in one pan for a simple yet tasty result. While the fish and spinach finished cooking through, I decided to whip together some mock mashed potatoes too. These only take a few minutes to prepare, so it timed out perfectly.
