Savor the bold flavors of our Wild Blackened Salmon, expertly seasoned with a blend of Cajun spices and seared to perfection. This 6oz fillet boasts a crispy, charred exterior while remaining tender and flaky on the inside. Served with a side of zesty lemon aioli and accompanied by seasonal vegetables, this dish promises a delightful balance of heat and freshness in every bite.

In a small bowl, combine paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.

Prepare the Spice Mix

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Rub olive oil over both sides of the fillets, then generously coat them with the spice mix, pressing it into the flesh.

Season the Salmon

Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add a little olive oil to coat the bottom.

Heat the Pan

Place the seasoned salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down (if skin-on). Cook for about 4-5 minutes, until the skin is crispy. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Cook the Salmon

Remove the salmon from the skillet and let rest for a minute. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
