Blackened Salmon Recipe
This blackened salmon recipe features fillets of salmon coated in a blend of spices and pan-seared to perfection. I love that it cooks in under 10 minutes. Watch the video below to see how I make it in my kitchen!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 4 salmon fillets (skin on)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 cup parsley (chopped )
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the ground cumin, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and dried thyme until combined.
- Sprinkle the spice mix over the top of the salmon fillets.
- Add the oil to a large non-stick skillet and place over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the salmon, spice side down, and sear for 3 minutes. Flip the fish and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove it from the skillet once it reaches 130°F.
- Remove the salmon from the pan and brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with finely chopped parsley. Let the salmon rest for 5 minutes, then serve.
