Description
Simple + yet powerful spice blend with delicious salmon + greens
Ingredients
Scale
- 2–4 salmon fillets
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or cooking oil of your choice)
- 2 large handfulls watercress, arugula or mixed greens
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- sea salt, to garnish
Blackened Seasoning
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder (or more)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Mix together in a small bowl.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425F.
- Heat an enamel saucepan (oven safe) over medium heat.
- Sprinkle the salmon fillets with the spice blend to cover the top and sides generously.
- When the pan is heated, swirl in the oil to coat the pan. Add the salmon to the pan, meat side down (skin side up). Cook for 3 minutes or until browned (but not burnt). Turn over and cook for 3 more minutes.
- Add the saucepan to the oven to finish cooking the salmon for 6 minutes or until the salmon is cooked to your likely. Remove from the oven and let sit while you make the greens.
- Toss the greens with the olive oil and lemon juice.
- Arrange the greens on a plate with a salmon fillet. Sprinkle with sea salt.
Notes
Highly recommend to double the blackened seasoning recipe to keep for another time. It can be used on chicken, other fish (shrimp would be amazing), pork and beef. It’s really so verstile.
My kids love this salmon with a teaspoon of honey on top. Drizzle the honey ontop of the salmon when you pull it out of the oven and it’s amazing.
