Instructions
- Combine spices and brown sugar in a small bowl.
- Lay out salmon fillets and coat both sides equally with the seasoning mixture.
- In a 12-inch skillet add olive oil and set over medium heat.
- When the oil is hot add the salmon and cook for about 4-6 minutes per side or until blackened and cooked to your desired doneness. Do not overcook.
Notes
- You can use a premade blackened seasoning if you prefer.
- Cook salmon just until cooked and flaky. It should be somewhat translucent in the very center. Keep in mind that as the salmon sits, it will continue cooking a little bit. Do not overcook.
- Thicker salmon will need closer to 6 min per side, thinner filets will need closer to 4 minutes. After about 4-6 minutes per side, salmon should flake easily with a fork but still be slightly translucent in the center.
- Once the fish becomes flaky, remove it from the heat right away to avoid over-cooking.
