Recipe information

Make Blackened Salmon Sandwich in just 30m. Well done, no sauce, and add bacon

Prepare the Blackened Salmon

1. Mix the Spices

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

2. Season the Salmon

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Rub the spice blend generously on both sides of each fillet.

3. Cook the Salmon

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down and sear for about 4-5 minutes until a crust forms. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and well done.

4. Cook the Bacon

In a separate skillet, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess grease.

5. Toast the Buns (optional)

If desired, toast the burger buns in the same skillet used for the bacon until golden brown.

6. Assemble the Sandwich

On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a blackened salmon fillet, two slices of tomato, and two strips of crispy bacon. Add pickles if desired. Top with the other half of the bun.

7. Serve

Serve the blackened salmon sandwich immediately with your choice of side.
