Blackened Salmon

Crispy, charred crust forms on the outside while the salmon stays buttery and tender inside, all from a simple spice rub. The paprika and garlic powder create a smoky flavor that coats each bite without overpowering the fish itself.

With this recipe, you can make a delicious meal by combining sweet blackened salmon with spicy Mexican street corn.

Ingredients: 4 salmon fillets. 2 tablespoons blackening seasoning. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 4 ears of corn, husked. 1/4 cup mayonnaise. 1/4 cup sour cream. 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese. 1 teaspoon chili powder. 1/4 cup chopped cilantro. 1 lime, cut into wedges.

Instructions: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Rub salmon fillets with blackening seasoning, ensuring they are evenly coated. Drizzle olive oil over salmon fillets. Grill salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached. Meanwhile, grill corn until kernels are lightly charred, about 10 minutes, turning occasionally. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, cotija cheese, and chili powder until well combined. Once corn is grilled, spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly over each ear of corn. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the corn. Serve blackened salmon with Mexican street corn and lime wedges. Enjoy!

This recipe combines the strong flavors of blackened salmon with the bright and refreshing flavors of citrus salsa to make a dish that is both tasty and colorful. The citrus salsa gives the salmon a burst of freshness and tanginess, and the blackening seasoning gives the salmon more depth.

Ingredients: 4 salmon fillets. 2 tablespoons olive oil. Blackening seasoning paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, cayenne pepper. Salt and pepper to taste. 1 orange, peeled and diced. 1 grapefruit, peeled and diced. 1 lime, peeled and diced. 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped. 1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped. 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped. 1 tablespoon honey. Juice of 1 lime. Salt to taste.

Instructions: Add salt and pepper to salmon fillets and rub them with blackening seasoning. In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Put the salmon fillets in the pan with the skin side down. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the skin turns black. The salmon fillets should be cooked through after being turned over and cooking for an extra 3 to 4 minutes. Cut up orange, grapefruit, lime, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, honey, lime juice, and salt and put them in a bowl. This is how you make citrus salsa. Put the citrus salsa on top of the pan-seared salmon that has been blackened.
