ingredients
- 29.58 ml ground paprika
- 14.79 ml ground cayenne pepper
- 14.79 ml onion powder
- 9.85 ml salt
- 2.46 ml white pepper
- 2.46 ml ground black pepper
- 1.23 ml dried thyme
- 1.23 ml dried basil
- 1.23 ml dried oregano
- 453.59 g salmon (fillets, skin removed)
- 29.58 ml extra virgin olive oil (The original recipe calls for 1/2 cup butter)
- olive oil flavored cooking spray
directions
- In a small bowl, mix paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, salt, white pepper, black pepper, thyme, basil and oregano.
- Brush salmon fillets EVOO until moist, and sprinkle evenly with the cayenne pepper mixture. Mist with EVOO spray (I use Garlic flavored EVOO spray).
- In a large, heavy skillet over high heat, cook salmon, until blackened, 2 to 5 minutes. Turn fillets, brush with remaining EVOO , and continue cooking until blackened and fish is easily flaked with a fork.
- At this point, I bake at 400 for 10 minutes or until desired doneness (I like mine well done). If you don't like yours well done, skip the baking stage.

I love to try new recipes and often try so many new recipes that I forget about all the great ones I've already made. My focus in cooking is to cook healthy and lower in fat without compromising the taste of the food.
