Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

In a small bowl, combine all Blackening Spice Blend ingredients.
Pat the Salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
Generously coat both sides of the Salmon fillets with the Blackening Spice Blend, pressing to adhere.
Heat Vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the Salmon fillets in the hot skillet, skin-side down if using skin-on fillets.
Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the Salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The spice blend will create a blackened crust.
Serve immediately.
