Blackened Salmon Recipe

Preparation Instructions

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and the salmon is cooked halfway through. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is fully cooked and blackened. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
