Cajun Blackened Salmon image

Yet another recipe from my mother-in-law, who is probably the best cook that I personally know. This is, hands down, our favourite way to eat salmon in our house - and we eat a lot of it! The spice portion can be doubled and stored for later - I typically double or triple the recipe and store it in an airtight jar so that it is available whenever I want it.

I love this recipe! The salmon is always cooked perfectly and the blackened seasoning is delicious. I usually serve it with a side of roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes.

This recipe is easy to follow and the salmon turned out great! I was worried that the blackening seasoning would be too spicy, but it was actually very mild. The salmon was cooked evenly and had a nice crispy crust.

I've tried many blackened salmon recipes, but this one is by far the best. The Cajun seasoning is perfect, and the salmon comes out crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I love serving this dish with a side of roasted vegetables and rice.

This blackened salmon was a hit at our dinner party! The smoky flavor from the blackened seasoning was incredible, and the salmon was cooked to perfection. It was so moist and flaky, and it paired perfectly with the creamy lemon sauce. I will definit
