Blackened Salmon

for 2 people

You'll need the previous blog Blacken Spices to use this recipe. Not only it's flavorful, but it also perserves the original flavor of the meat within it. It looks very presentable too! Mmmmh...

The what's:

400-500 g (0.88-1.1 Lb / 14-17.6 oz) salmon filet, skinless or not depends on your personal perference

blacken spices

olive oil

The how's:

Cover salmon with oil. Rub spices on both sides of fish. Preheat frying pan on high heat, and pour remaining oil in pan. Add more oil as needed. Once it's hot, place fish in it. Cook each side until surface of fish is sealed and browned.  Turn heat to low and cook until fish is thoroughly cooked.

Suggestion: Great with a fresh salad! Please see my blog "All Natural Salad Dressing" for something healthy & refreshing to balance out the grease!

Blacken Spices

I keep a small bottle of this mix of spices to use for making a quick presentable meal. It's so helpful when I don't feel like going through the trouble of marinating. It tastes salty, spicy and a little garlicky. Here is a list of ingredients, and please see the next blog Backened Salmon for an example of how to use it!

The what's:

4 tbsp paprika

1 tbsp cayenne pepper

1 tbsp while pepper

1 tbsp black pepper

1 tbsp onion powder

1 tbsp garlic powder

1 tbsp oregano

1 tbsp thyme

1 tbsp salt
