Blackened Salmon is crispy, juicy and packed with bold flavor! It's a healthy seafood recipe that's so easy to make and it's on the table in under 15 minutes!
Lime wedges and fresh parsleyfor serving (optional)
Instructions
Blot each salmon filet dry. Using 1 tablespoon of the oil, drizzle oil over the top of the filets.
Sprinkle blackened seasoning evenly over the top of the fish and let stand at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Place the salmon fillets top side down in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until nicely charred and it releases easily from the pan.
Flip the salmon and cook an additional 2-3 minutes until the fat begins to render and the fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with lime and parsley if desired and enjoy!
Notes
Pro tip: It's important to use a high smoke point oil as the salmon is cooked at a high temperature and the oil can burn, giving the dish a rancid flavor.
Add as much or little of the blackened seasoning to suit your tastes.
This recipe works with any firm white fish as well.
Store blackened salmon in the fridge for up to 3 days.
