Preparation
Paint chilled salmon fillets on both sides with melted butter, and then apply Cajun seasoning to each buttered side liberally.
In a well ventilated area, heat a thick bottomed skillet on medium high and without adding any oil, place the salmon fillets in pan and blacken on both sides approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Depending on thickness of the fillets, complete cooking of fillets in a 350 F oven or microwave oven.
Chill the salmon fillets then break apart into 1" chunks.
Wipe out skillet and heat on medium high. Add oil then saute julienned onion and peppers until just tender. Remove and chill also.
Blanch green beans in boiling salted water then shock in ice water. Drain, pat dry and reserve.
In a bowl, toss together chilled peppers and onion, green beans, kidney beans, black eyed peas and tomatoes.
In a large salad bowl or on individual plates, finish salad by tossing Nino's Italian Greens in Hot Rod Bob's dressing to coat. Garnish top of salad with peppers and beans mixture and finally with chunks of Blackened Salmon.
