Ingredients
Salmon
Cajun Spice Mix
Preparation
1. Make the Cajun Spice Mix
In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
2. Prepare the Salmon
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the fillets on both sides. Then, generously coat each fillet with the Cajun spice mix, ensuring they are evenly covered.
Cooking
3. Heat the Pan
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Allow it to get hot, which will help create a nice sear on the salmon.
4. Cook the Salmon
Once the skillet is hot, place the seasoned salmon fillets skin-side down (if skin-on) in the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes without moving them, allowing the spices to blacken and the fish to cook through. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until cooked to your liking.
5. Serve
Remove the salmon from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve hot with your choice of side dishes.
