For those of you who can’t eat meat on Friday. Between now and Easter here is a great recipe. Blackened Salmon at its finest. It is quick to prepare and tastes great.
Ingredients
2 Tablespoon ground paprika
1 Tablespoon onion powder
1 Tablespoon cayenne pepper

2 Teaspoon salt

½ Teaspoon ground white pepper

½ Teaspoon ground black pepper

¼ Teaspoon dried thyme

¼ Teaspoon dried basil

Directions

Mix all the spices together into a bowl. (
ground paprika, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, white pepper, black pepper, thyme, basil, oregano)
 
 
 

 

Melt the butter.
Coat the salmon fillets on both sides with ¼ cup butter. Then sprinkle them over evenly with the spice mixture. Drizzle one side of each fillet with ½ half the remaining butter.
Using a skillet over high heat, cook the salmon fillets butter side down until blackened. 2 to 5 minutes. Turn the fillets and drizzle with the left over butter. Continue cooking until blackened and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
And enjoy.

    I hate to say it, but, not everyone likes their food pepper hot. I can eat it hot but it’s just not my preference. My kids feel the same way. On the other hand, my wife does like it with lots of Cayenne.
    With that in mind I set out to make Blackened Salmon that would satisfy everyone.
    Here’s what I did:
    I made the recipe as suggested but
    I substituted 1/2 tbsp chili powder for the cayenne and also used only the black pepper. This was sprinkled on everyone’s salmon.
    For my wife I sprinkled additional cayenne on her piece.
    Viola, everyone was happy.
    One other thing, I used our regular buttery spread (Earth Balance) instead of butter. It worked fine too.
    Enjoy,
    Chris

    Thank you for a delicious recipe. I placed the blackened salmon over salad greens which I tossed with a combination of 1/2 store-bought bleu cheese and 1/2 Italian viniagrette. Fabulous! My guests thought Julia was back! One word of caution — when placing the salmon into the hot pan, quite a bit of smoke was generated — open those windows and turn on the fan.
