Blackened Salmon Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spice Mixture

    In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create a spice blend.

  2. 2

    Coat the Salmon

    Rub the spice mixture generously on both sides of each salmon fillet. Ensure the fillets are well-coated.

  3. 3

    Heat the Pan

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering.

  4. 4

    Cook the Salmon

    Add the salmon fillets to the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the salmon is blackened and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the salmon from the skillet and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
