Blackened Salmon

Submitted by chavamandel

"An amazing recipe that will give you a nice kick of spices and tastes with each bite."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 2-4

ingredients

• 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

directions

1. 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.

Nummy....We used this recipe for king salmon fillets. We used all spices as stated with the exception of the cayenne powder. 1/8 teaspoon rather than 1 teaspoon as my husband can't handle too much spiciness. Turned out perfectly! Others may prefer spicier. We brushed the salmon with olive oil and Pan-Fried it in butter. Delish!

Loved the spicy kick. So, why not next time I make this come for dinner. I got my fire extinguisher handy. Made for Healthy Choice recipe tag.
