Step 1

Place spices in a small bowl and stir to combine the spice mix.

Step 2

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

While the skillet heats up, pat the salmon dry with paper towels and place on a plate; season salmon with half of the spice mix on both sides. (Reserve remaining spice mix for the beans.)

Step 4

Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Place the salmon, skin-side-down, in the skillet; cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 3-4 minutes per side (depending on thickness). Once done, transfer to a plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil.

Step 5

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce.

Step 6

Peel and mince garlic and onion. Place in a medium bowl.

Step 7

Trim, seed, and small dice bell peppers; add both to the bowl with the garlic and onion.

Step 8

Drain and rinse beans in a colander; set aside to drain further.

Step 9

Return the skillet to medium-high heat.

Step 10

Once the skillet is hot, add more oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add veggies and remaining spice mix; sauté until soft, 6-8 minutes. (Reserve bowl for the next step.)

Step 11

Meanwhile, small dice tomatoes and transfer to the reserved bowl. Add oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper; stir to combine the relish and set aside.

Step 12

Add water and tomato paste to the skillet, stir to combine, and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add beans and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 2-3 minutes.

Step 13

To serve, divide rice and beans between plates; top with blackened salmon and tomato relish. Enjoy!
