Instructions

• Pat the 1 pound salmon filets dry with paper towels.
• Preheat a 12- or 14-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot (about 1–2 minutes).
• Rub the salmon all over with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Sprinkle and rub about 1 tablespoon blackened seasoning evenly over both sides of the salmon.
• Place the salmon in the hot skillet presentation-side down (if the filets have skin, place skin-side down). Do not overcrowd the pan.
• Cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes.
• Carefully flip the filets and cook 3–4 minutes more, or until the salmon is opaque, flakes easily, and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Remove from the skillet and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
