• Sprinkle cajun spice liberally over salmon fillets on both sides.

BLACKENED SALMON FILLETS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, salt, white pepper, black pepper, thyme, basil and oregano.
• Brush salmon fillets EVOO until moist, and sprinkle evenly with the cayenne pepper mixture. Mist with EVOO spray (I use Garlic flavored EVOO spray).
• In a large, heavy skillet over high heat, cook salmon, until blackened, 2 to 5 minutes. Turn fillets, brush with remaining EVOO , and continue cooking until blackened and fish is easily flaked with a fork.
• At this point, I bake at 400 for 10 minutes or until desired doneness (I like mine well done). If you don't like yours well done, skip the baking stage.

PERFECT BLACKENED SALMON

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, chili powder, and garlic powder.
• Dry the fish with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture all over the fish.
• Heat a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet* over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes. Brush with the oil.
• Place the salmon fillets in the skillet. Cook until the outside is blackened, 2-3 minutes per side.**
• Remove the skillet from the heat and cover it tightly with foil (or use a lid if has a tight-fitting lid). Allow the fish to finish cooking in the pan's residual heat, for about 5 minutes (its internal temperature should reach 145ºF). Serve immediately.

BLACKENED SALMON FILLETS

Steps:

• To make the blackening mixture, combine the seasonings in a bowl. You can use this blend on fish or chicken. Brush both sides of the salmon with oil to lightly coat. Sprinkle both sides of the salmon with the blackening mixture and set aside. Heat a heavy skillet (not non-stick) over high heat. Add the fish and cook for 2-5 minutes or until the fish releases from the pan, is blackened and the spices are fragrant. Turn the fish over and continue to cook until blackened and the fish flakes easily. Serve immediately. Goes great with rice. Leftovers are delicious on a salad.

BLACKENED SALMON RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, add paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, dried, salt and pepper. Mix all together well.
• Brush ½ tablespoon of olive oil on top of salmon fillets.
• Sprinkle the spice mix on the flesh side of the salmon only. Using your fingers, tap the spicy mix on top of the salmon (on the flesh side).
• In a non-stick skillet or cast iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Wait 2 minutes and then add the salmon fillets and cook for about 3-5 minutes. Time will depend on the thickness of the salmon fillets. Reduce the heat to medium-low and flip the salmon fillets over and cook for more 3-4 minutes.
• Before serve, garnish with parsley. Serve it with steamed broccoli, mashed cauliflower or roasted veggies. Enjoy!

BLACKENED SALMON

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Lay salmon fillets skin-side down into a shallow ceramic or glass baking dish. Squeeze equal amounts of lime juice over each filet and let sit 5 minutes.
• In a food processor, blend onion powder, thyme, basil, oregano, chile, pepper, salt, and sugar until homogeneous. Spread the spices evenly onto a large plate or baking sheet.
• Lift salmon fillets from lime juice, then flesh side down into spice mix, pressing very gently to encourage spices to stick to fish. Turn each fillet onto sides and press again.
• Heat a large grill pan over medium-high and add some oil to the pan. Once hot, add fillets skin-side down, and cook 4 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully flip and cook for a additional 5 minutes or until cooked through.
