Blackened Salmon Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

4 boneless Salmon Fillets, 4 to 6 ounces each, 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick
1 stick melted butter
Blackened seasoning (Get Recipe)

Recipe Instructions:

Prepare the blackened seasoning and set aside. Heat your cast iron skillet. Heat the skillet over your highest setting for about 10 minutes until its very hot. When ready, the bottom of skillet will be ashy white.
Rinse your salmon fillets under running cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Dip the fillets one at a time in the melted butter, ensuring both sides of the fillet are covered with butter. Remove fish from butter and then without sitting the fish down sprinkle fish on both sides generously with seasoning, patting by hand. Repeat this step for the second piece of salmon.
Place 2 pieces of salmon fillets into the hot cast iron skillet and cook for 4 to 6 minutes turning fillets over once, halfway through cooking. Pour 1 teaspoon of melted butter over the top of the fillets initially and another on top of the fillets when you turn it over at the halfway point.

Special Notes:Before cooking the remaining fish, be sure to wipe your cast iron skillet (caution its very hot) clean. Also, be sure your stove ventilation fan is working properly, since blackening tends to create plenty of smoke.
