Easy Blackened Salmon Recipe
Ingredients
-
10 oz center cut salmon
wild is preferred
- spray olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
-
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- Note: add more/less depending on your heat tolerance
- 2 teaspoons butter
Note
Substitution
* Optional
Steps
Step 1
Pat filets dry with a paper towel, then spray salmon with oil.
Step 2
Rub the spice mix all over the salmon, even the skin. Do not worry if it looks clumpy, just spread it out as best as possible.
Step 3
Set a carbon steel or cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat. Once hot add butter and allow to melt and sizzle.
Step 4
Place the salmon skin-side up in the skillet so the top sears. Sear for 3 – 5 minutes, or until blackened marks appear and the salmon can easily be lifted off the skillet.
Flip it over and cook it the rest of the way, about 6 – 8 minutes.
Careful not to overcook the salmon – when a white substance, albumin, seeps out the side it means the salmon is ready and overcooked.
Step 5
Remove from the skillet and enjoy! 
Step 6
I like to flake my salmon and add it to jasmine rice, salads, and even soups!
