Several weeks ago I was standing in the checkout line at Costco buying some beautiful salmon fillets. The checker engaged me in a lengthy conversation about how to make Blackened Salmon and what spices work well. What could a food blogger like myself do, but come home and test out his advice. 🙂 It was spot on and I’m happy to say this Blackened Salmon I have to share with you today is some of the best I’ve ever made or tried. The seasoning is super simple (only 4 ingredients!) and the cooking technique is so quick you won’t believe it…12 minutes start to finish. Now, that is my kind of recipe. My family and I have fallen in love with this tasty dish. Hope you will, too! The seasoning mix listed in the recipe is much more than you will need for one recipe. Store it in a glass jar with a lid to pull out and use next time you are making seafood of any kind. It’s fantastic on Mahi Mahi, Shrimp, Cod, Talapia…any kind of seafood, really.
Super simple, super fabulous!
It would be fantastic served with Roasted Carrots, Roasted Asparagus , Lemon Butter Rice or even Oven Baked Fries.

Notes
The Perfect Seafood Seasoning recipe will yield much more than you need to make 4 salmon fillets. Keep it in a glass jar with a lid for easy storage, then pull it out the next time you are making fish. It's delicious!

Where did you get your spice jars?
Hi Jean,
Thanks for your question. I got the spice jar at IKEA.
Best of luck!

Do I start with the skin side down first, or the flesh side?
This sounds good and easy. I also want to know where you got your glass jar
Marilyn,

Do you start with the skin side down first, or the flesh side?
Hi Susan,
Thanks for your question. I buy fillets that already have the skin removed. If you have fish with skin on it, I would star with the skin side first. Best of luck!
