Method
Preparation of the Blackened Salmon
- 1
Make the Spice Mix
In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Prepare the Salmon
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Rub each fillet generously with olive oil on both sides, ensuring they are well-coated.
- 3
Season the Salmon
Sprinkle the spice mix evenly over the salmon fillets, pressing it into the fish to ensure it adheres well.
- 4
Heat the Pan
Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy frying pan over high heat until it is very hot. This may take about 5 minutes.

Cook the Salmon
Once the skillet is hot, add the seasoned salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until cooked through and charred.
