Easy Blackened Salmon

Blackened salmon is a perfectly easy, 20-minute salmon recipe coated in a rich combination of herbs and spices and seared in a pan. This is a great weeknight seafood dish and salmon tastes incredible with homemade blackened seasoning.

• It’s so easy to make in less than 30 minutes.
• Salmon is such a mild fish that it tastes perfect with a rich seasoning like this one.
• You can easily save yourself a few minutes and mix the blackening seasoning ahead of time. Just store it in an air-tight glass container with a lid. Store it in a cool, dry place until you’re ready to use it.
• This really is a perfect weeknight dinner. All you have to do is brush salmon with butter, dip three sides into seasoning mix, and pan-sear the salmon until it’s done.
• You might also be happy to know that you get a beautifully crispy skin on the salmon that you can eat!
