Embed
    4 Servings

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces Salmon Fillet, with skin on, or 4 smaller Fillets
  • 1-2 tablespoons Cajun Blackened Seasoning, or Barbecue Seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil

Directions

  1. Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel and sprinkle the seasoning on both sides of the salmon.
  2. Add the oil to a pan on medium heat and let it heat up for a few minutes or until the oil is shimmering.
  3. Lower the heat to medium and add the salmon, skin side down. Be careful for splattering oil. Cook the salmon for about 6 to 8 minutes or until it is almost cooked through. The inside will register 120°F on an instant read thermometer and the salmon will be translucent.
  4. Carefully turn the salmon with a spatula and cook for another minute.
  5. Let the salmon rest for a minute or two before serving.
