Both spice blends feature paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme. Italian seasoning (a mix of basil, oregano, rosemary, marjoram, and more thyme) rounds out my Cajun Seasoning ingredient list. My Creole Seasoning simply calls for oregano and black pepper. Use either for a technique called "blackening," which is delightful for salmon (or nearly any kind of fish), chicken, shrimp, pork, steak, or whatever protein you crave.
