Salmon Fillets

Optional Garnish

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 evenly blended.

Preparing the Salmon

  1. 2

    Prepare the Salmon

    Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a nice sear. Brush both sides of each fillet with olive oil.

  2. 3

    Season the Salmon

    Generously sprinkle the blackening spice mix over both sides of each salmon fillet, pressing it gently into the fish.

Cooking the Salmon

  1. 4

    Blackening on a Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until the outside is charred and the inside is cooked to your desired doneness.

  2. 5

    Alternative Grilling Method

    If using a grill, place the seasoned salmon fillets directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, ensuring to flip carefully to avoid breaking the fillets.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate and Garnish

    Remove the salmon from the grill or skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with fresh lemon wedges and a sprinkle of chopped parsley for garnish.
