Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5-2 Ibs. wild-caught salmon fillets
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 ounce provolone cheese, sliced
  • 3-4 hoagie rolls
For the Remoulade Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons horseradish
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1-1 1/2 teaspoons hot sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice to add brightness to the remoulade sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika for a subtle smoky flavor

Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the Salmon
  1. Start by patting the salmon dry and cutting it into strips. This allows for even cooking. Season it generously with Cajun seasoning on all sides.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add your cooking oil. Once it's hot, toss in the sliced onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté until they soften and are nicely caramelized, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the sautéed veggies to a plate once done.
Step 3: Cook the Salmon
  1. Using the same skillet, add the salmon strips. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until crispy and golden brown. Remember, salmon cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking.
Step 4: Assemble the Cheesesteak
  1. Slice your hoagie rolls and place the salmon strips onto the roll. Top it off with a generous amount of sautéed veggies and a slice of provolone cheese. Let it melt slightly over the warm salmon.
Step 5: Prepare the Remoulade Sauce
  1. In a small bowl, mix all the remoulade ingredients together until well blended. Adjust the seasoning to your liking. This sauce is the star that pulls everything together.
Step 6: Serve
  1. Drizzle the remoulade sauce over your assembled cheesesteak or serve it on the side. Dive into your creation while it’s warm and gooey!

Notes

  • Choose Fresh Ingredients: Always go for the freshest salmon. It truly makes a difference!
  • Don’t Rush the Sauté: Give your veggies time to caramelize. The sweetness enhances the overall taste.
  • Toast Your Rolls: Consider toasting your hoagie rolls slightly before adding the filling. It adds texture and keeps them from becoming soggy.
  • Taste as You Go: Adjust the seasoning of the salmon and remoulade according to your palate. Personal touch matters!
  • Meal Prep Friendly: You can prepare the sautéed veggies and salmon ahead of time. Store them separately in the fridge to assemble when ready.
