My easy blackened salmon recipe makes flaky fish with bold blackened salmon seasoning and a crispy crust in just 20 minutes.
Ingredients
Instructions
Pat the salmon dry using paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix the blackened seasoning spices: sweet paprika, smoked paprika, sea salt, onion powder, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, black pepper, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, and dried oregano.
Sprinkle the seasoning over the salmon fillets on all sides, about 2 teaspoons per fillet.
Preheat a large cast iron skillet (or nonstick skillet) for 2 minutes over medium heat. Add the olive oil. Arrange the salmon fillets, skin side down, in the skillet. Press on top of each fillet for 10 second right after adding to the pan. Cook for 6 minutes until the edges get pale pink. Flip the blackened salmon and cook for another 2 minutes, until darkened on the other side and internal temperature reaches 135-140 degrees F (57-60 degrees C).
