Blackened Salmon
This is a favourite recipe of mine because this seems like a fancy dish, but it's easy and tastes so good. The point is that the spices sear and toast, not the fish, so the flavour is intense and subtle at the same time.

Total Time20 mins
Servings: 4
- 4 4-5 oz pieces of salmon
- 1 Tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 oranges (between 1/3 - 1/2 cup)
Mix the spices together in a wide dish.
Place the salmon flesh side down in the spices to ensure one side of them is coated.
Place a wide dish over the stove, heat to medium-high and add oil.
Place the salmon spice side down.
Once the spices look like they're browning. Add in the orange juice. Once the orange has mostly evaporated, flip the fish over and cook for another few minutes until the fish is perfectly cooked.
If your pieces are thick and aren't cooking on the inside, place them a 350 F oven for a few minutes.
Substitution Guide:
- salmon: any fish you like
