10 Minute Blackened Salmon
January 21, 2019

Blackened Salmon
SERVES 4
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon
plus 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon
garlic powder
1 teaspoon
dried oregano
1 teaspoon
kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon
cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons
olive oil
4 (6-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets
1 medium lemon, cut into wedges
INSTRUCTIONS
Place the paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and cayenne in a shallow bowl or plate and stir to combine. Press the flesh side of each salmon fillet into the seasoning to evenly coat it. Alternatively, you can pat the seasoning mixture evenly onto the flesh side of each salmon fillet.
Heat the oil in a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium until shimmering. Add the fillets, skin-side up, and cook until blackened, about 3 minutes. Flip the fillets and continue to cook until cooked through to your liking, 5 to 7 minutes depending on the thickness of your fillets. If the skin is starting to burn before the fillets are cooked, turn the heat down to medium-low. If the fillets are extra thick (1 1/2 to 2-inches thick in the middle), you may need to turn the fillets on their sides for a minute on each side to cook them through. An instant-read thermometer into the middle of the thickest fillet should register 120°F to 130°F for medium-rare or 135°F to 145°F for more well-done. Transfer the fillets to individual plates and serve with lemon wedges.
