Blackened Salmon

Simple + Healthy

I love finding a recipe that is simple, delicious and healthy too! We like to eat fresh fish from time to time and this recipe is amazing. It is Blackened Salmon recipe I've made for years - and I originally found it in the Simply Divine cookbook which you can buy on Amazon. 


The Ingredients:


  • Fresh Salmon (I bought wild-caught at Aldi)
  • Olive Oil


The Spice Mixture:


  • 2 Tablespoons paprika
  • 1 Tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon basil
  • ¼ teaspoon oregano

The Directions:


  • Rub salmon with olive oil and sprinkle with spice mixture.
  • Fry a few minutes on each side, until flaky. Then drizzle with lime or lemon juice.


Tip...
I actually used a seasoning mix I had on hand called Magic Seasoning Blends-Blackened Redfish Magic which you can, also, buy on Amazon.

Another tip is not to overcook the salmon!


  • Use a food thermometer and remove it from the pan when it reaches 120 or 125 degrees. 
  • You can serve this over rice with some fresh veggies on the side and it is a simple healthy meal!
