Blackened Salmon Recipe

Blackened Salmon Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce

   In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, and heat over medium heat. Stir until the honey is dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened, then set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Blackening Spice

   In a small bowl, mix together paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a blackening spice blend.

3. 3

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

4. 4

   Season the Salmon

   Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Rub the blackening spice mixture evenly over both sides of each fillet.

5. 5

   Cook the Salmon

   Carefully place the seasoned salmon fillets in the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the salmon is cooked through and has a blackened crust. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

6. 6

   Steam the Rice

   While the salmon is cooking, prepare the rice according to package instructions. Typically, this will involve combining 1 cup of rice with 2 cups of water, bringing to a boil, then reducing heat, covering, and simmering for about 18-20 minutes.

7. 7

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same skillet used for the salmon, add sesame oil. Once hot, add the mixed vegetables and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

8. 8

   Serve

   Plate the blackened salmon topped with homemade teriyaki sauce, serve alongside steamed rice and sautéed vegetables.
