Ingredients
- 4 salmon filets skinless (about 4 ounces each)
- 1 tablespoon (13.6 g) vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons (14 g) paprika
- 1 tablespoon (8 g) garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon (7 g) onion powder
- 1 tablespoon (4 g) dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon (5 g) dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon (2 g) cayenne pepper adjust to taste for spiciness
- 1 teaspoon (2 g) ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon (6 g) salt
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium heat, about 350°F (175°C).
- Rub vegetable oil on the grill to prevent sticking.
- Mix together the seasonings in a bowl.
- Season both sides of the salmon filets with blackening seasoning.
- Place the salmon filets on the preheated skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove from the grill.
Notes
- The freshness of the fish plays a crucial role in how the final dish tastes and feels.
- If you'd rather cook the salmon on the stovetop, make sure you've added some cooking oil. This will ensure you get a nice crust on the fish.
- Be careful not to overcook it! Overcooked salmon is very dry and not good.
