Ingredients
  

  • PERFECT SEAFOOD SEASONING: This makes much more than you need for 4 servings.
  • 2 Tb garlic salt
  • 2 Tb lemon pepper
  • 2 Tb dill
  • 2 Tb smoked paprika
  • 4 Salmon fillets I buy them frozen at Costco, let thaw at room temperature
  • cooking spray or olive oil

Instructions
 

  • 1. Mix all seasonings in a small glass jar with a lid, for easy storage.
  • 2. Grab your salmon fillets and generously sprinkle them on both sides with the seasoning. Make sure not to leave out the smoked paprika. It's essential to making the fish take on that "blackening" feature that is so delicious.
  • 3. Heat a skillet up over medium high heat. Spray generously with cooking spray (or add just a tiny bit of olive oil).
  • 4. Add your salmon and allow it to cook for about 2 minutes, or until it takes on a nice darkening. Make sure not to let it burn. Turn the salmon over and add just a bit of water (about 1-2 Tb) to the pan. Cover and allow the fish to cook through. Should only take about 4-5 minutes. Remove the lid and allow the salmon to darken (should only take about 2 minutes).
  • 5. When the salmon flakes easily with a fork it's done.
  • 6. Serve and enjoy!

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!
