Ingredients
Directions
9 STEPS
1
With a paper towel, thoroughly dry the surface of the salmon fillets.
2
Combine melted unsalted butter and blackening seasoning in a shallow bowl.
3
Press the flesh side of each salmon fillet into the seasoning mixture, ensuring an even coating.
4
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
5
Add the fillets to the skillet, skin-side up, and cook until blackened, about 3 minutes.
6
Flip the fillets and continue to cook until your desired doneness is achieved, 5 to 7 minutes depending on the thickness of your fillets.
7
If the skin begins to burn before the fillets are cooked, reduce the heat to medium-low.
8
For extra-thick fillets (1 1/2 to 2-inches thick in the middle), carefully turn the fillets onto their sides for an additional minute on each side to ensure they are cooked through.
9
Transfer the cooked fillets to individual plates and serve with lemon wedges for an optional tangy finish.
