SLAMMIN BLACKENED SALMON

This is the easiest and most delicious meal that I make! It turned my non-fish eating husband into a salmon maniac! It is quick simple and so luxurious. I have wowed many a guest with this simple recipe.

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 17m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 lb salmon fillet (preferrably fresh but frozen works well too! Just cook it alittle longer.)
blackening seasoning (I like Zatteran's found at most supermarkets)
olive oil

Steps:

  • Remove salmon from package and rub with blackening seasoning on skin free side.
  • Use just enough to cover the piece of fish but not so much that you can't see the pink behind the seasoning.
  • Heat grill pan on med heat and brush lightly with olive oil (very lightly) Place salmon skin side down on pan and cook on med heat until half of the salmon (from the bottom up) is opaque.
  • Flip salmon and remove skin (it will peel off very easily and usually in one piece- I place it in a small plastic bag and tie it before dropping it in the garbage can to reduce fishy odors) Cook another 5-8 minutes until the entire piece of fish is opaque and runs with a white milk like substance (healthy omega fatty acids) Serve immediately with rice or potato and veggie of your choice for a healthy meal that tastes like you're at a restaurant even when you cooked it yourself!

Time 30m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 -10 ounces salmon steaks
3/4 lb unsalted butter (olive oil works better)
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cayenne powder
3/4 teaspoon white pepper
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves

Steps:

  • Each steak works best if it is about 3/4 inches thick, especially when using a cast iron skillet. Coat each stake with the butter (or olive oil) and let sit while the rest of the butter/olive oil heats up in the pan. After about 10 minutes, coat each stake on both sides with the seasoning mix and let it cook for around 2 minutes uncovered. Afterwards, flip it over and cook the stakes until they are a nice pink color inside. The time that it takes to cook each stake determines on how large they are.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 salmon fillets
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper

Tips:

  • Get the right salmon. Look for a salmon fillet that is about 1 inch thick and has a nice, even color. Avoid fillets that are thin or have any brown spots.
  • Make sure your salmon is well-seasoned. The blackening seasoning is what gives this dish its flavor, so don't be shy with it. Rub the seasoning all over the salmon, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
  • Use a hot skillet. The key to getting a good sear on the salmon is to use a hot skillet. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat until it is very hot, then add the salmon.
  • Don't crowd the skillet. If you crowd the skillet, the salmon will not cook evenly. Cook the salmon in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes per side. This will give the salmon a nice sear on the outside and cook it through on the inside.
  • Let the salmon rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the fish, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Blackened salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy blackened crust and tender, flavorful interior, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give blackened salmon a try. You won't be disappointed!
