Blackened Salmon

High Protein

I decided to make Blackened Salmon for us to eat for dinner tomorrow (cooking on a sunday for weeknight meals) – I’ve never used this combination of spices or these pretty thin wild salmon fillets before. Came out really good for my first try! Your turn!

Blackened Salmon

Ingredients
1 lb salmon fillets (amt. to your liking)
1 tbsp paprika
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp basil
1 tsp black pepper
Olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions
Drizzle olive oil on a skillet on medium-high heat. Combine paprika, oregano, garlic powder, thyme, basil, and black pepper in a small bowl. Drizzle olive oil (about 1/2-1 tsp per each fillet) on the fish, then rub the spice mixture on the fish equally. Top with a little more olive oil to set the spices onto the fish. Place the fish upside down(spice side down) onto the skillet. Let cook and shift from side to side if need be. Serve with veggies or in salad and enjoy!

1/2 cup of grape tomatoes, sliced in halves
2 tbsp fresh cilantro

Combine the fruit, tomatoes, cilantro, and balsamic vinegar for the salsa. Preheat a large saute pan on medium high heat for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle the Mahi Mahi  on each side with seasoning above.
