Blackened Salmon

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 8 -10 ounces salmon steaks
• 3/4 lb unsalted butter (olive oil works better)
• 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cayenne powder
• 3/4 teaspoon pepper
• 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves

Recipe

• 1 each steak works best if it is about 3/4 inches thick, especially when using a cast iron skillet. coat each stake with the butter (or olive oil) and let sit while the rest of the butter/olive oil heats up in the pan. after about 10 minutes, coat each stake on both sides with the seasoning mix and let it cook for around 2 minutes uncovered. afterwards, flip it over and cook the stakes until they are a nice pink color inside. the time that it takes to cook each stake determines on how large they are.
