  3. Heat the remaining oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-low heat. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400F.
  4. Cook the salmon fillets for around 2 minutes per side, or until blackened.

Notes

  • You can make different kinds of seafood such as blackened mahi-mahi, tuna, swordfish, shrimp, redfish, blackened catfish, etc.
  • Add some cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix for spice.
  • Make grilled blackened salmon rather than baked salmon. Want to just cook it on a skillet on your stovetop go right ahead.
