Cooking Steps
- Reduce heat of water to medium.
- To the pot of boiling water, add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter and stock powder.
- Whisk cornmeal in slowly. Cook for 1-2 min, whisking constantly, until cornmeal thickens slightly. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 10-12 min, stirring occasionally, until cornmeal grains are tender.
- Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper and half the Cajun Spice Blend.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and mirepoix. Cook for 2 min, stirring often, until beginning to soften.
- Add salmon and peppers. Cook for 2-3 min, until browned. Flip salmon and continue cooking for 2-3 min, until cooked through.**
- When salmon is done, break salmon up into large flakes, removing and discarding skin.
- Sprinkle gravy spice blend and remaining Cajun Spice Blend over top. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until fragrant and well coated.
- Add 1/2 cup (1 cup) water. Cook for 1-2 min, until sauce thickens.
- Once grits are tender, stir in cheddar and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) milk, until cheese is melted, 1 min. Season with salt, to taste.
- Divide grits between plates. Top with salmon-veggies mixture.
- Sprinkle with crispy shallots.
