Blackened Salmon
Blackened Salmon is a standout dish that combines the rich, oily texture of salmon with a bold and spicy seasoning blend. This cooking method involves coating the fish in a mix of herbs and spices, then searing it to perfection in a hot pan. The result is a beautifully crusty exterior with a juicy, tender inside.
Ingredients :
- 4 salmon fillets about 6 ounces each
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
