Cooking Ingredients

Method

Preparation of Blackening Spice Mix

  1. 1

    Make the Spice Mix

    In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.

Preparing the Salmon

  1. 2

    Coat the Salmon

    Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Generously rub the blackening spice mix over both sides of each salmon fillet, ensuring an even coating.

Cooking the Salmon

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.

  2. 4

    Cook the Salmon

    Place the seasoned salmon fillets in the hot skillet, skin side down if applicable. Cook for about 4-5 minutes without moving them, until a dark crust forms. Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve the Salmon

    Remove the salmon from the skillet and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
