Blackened Indian Salmon Recipes

PERFECT BLACKENED SALMON

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the kosher salt, chili powder, and garlic powder.
• Dry the fish with paper towels. Rub the spice mixture all over the fish.
• Heat a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet* over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes. Brush with the oil.
• Place the salmon fillets in the skillet. Cook until the outside is blackened, 2-3 minutes per side.**
• Remove the skillet from the heat and cover it tightly with foil (or use a lid if has a tight-fitting lid). Allow the fish to finish cooking in the pan's residual heat, for about 5 minutes (its internal temperature should reach 145ºF). Serve immediately.

THE BEST BLACKENED SALMON RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the salmon on a plate. Rub 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil onto both sides of the salmon filets.
• Spoon the blacken seasoning over the fish and spread around (both sides_. I use about 1/2 tablespoon per filet. You can adjust the amount based on your preference. The more you use, the spicier it will be and the less you use, the milder it will be.
• Heat the remaining vegetable oil in cast iron skillet over high heat.
• Place salmon on the hot cast iron pan and let it cook for 3 minutes. Time it and don't move the fish, so it can get that beautiful blackened crust on it.
• Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
• Remove to a separate plate and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!

BLACKENED SALMON FILLETS

Steps:

• Brush salmon fillets on both sides with 1/4 cup butter, and sprinkle evenly with the cayenne pepper mixture. Drizzle one side of each fillet with 1/2 remaining butter.
• In a large, heavy skillet over high heat, cook salmon, butter side down, until blackened, 2 to 5 minutes. Turn fillets, drizzle with remaining butter, and continue cooking until blackened and fish is easily flaked with a fork.

BLACKENED SALMON

Steps:

• Each steak works best if it is about 3/4 inches thick, especially when using a cast iron skillet. Coat each stake with the butter (or olive oil) and let sit while the rest of the butter/olive oil heats up in the pan. After about 10 minutes, coat each stake on both sides with the seasoning mix and let it cook for around 2 minutes uncovered. Afterwards, flip it over and cook the stakes until they are a nice pink color inside. The time that it takes to cook each stake determines on how large they are.

BLACKENED SALMON

Steps:

• For Blackened Seasoning, combine the Smoked Paprika (2 tablespoon), Brown Sugar (1 tablespoon), Fresh Oregano (1 tablespoon), Fresh Thyme (1 tablespoon), Cayenne Pepper (1 teaspoon), Onion Powder (1 teaspoon), Ground Black Pepper (1 teaspoon), Garlic Powder (1 teaspoon), Fennel Seeds (1 teaspoon), and Salt (1 teaspoon).
• Store in an airtight jar.
• Lightly drizzle Olive Oil (as needed) over your Salmon Fillet (1) and using your fingers or a brush spread it to coat the fish.
• Generously sprinkle the blackened seasoning all over the salmon to coat it evenly. Repeat on the other side.
• You can pan fry the salmon if using smaller fillets on medium heat for about 5-6 minutes on each side (depending on the thickness of the fillets). Or bake it at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 15-20 minutes.
• Serve the fish hot with a sprinkling of Lime Juice (to taste) and some extra lime wedges!

BLACKENED SALMON

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Lay salmon fillets skin-side down into a shallow ceramic or glass baking dish. Squeeze equal amounts of lime juice over each filet and let sit 5 minutes.
• In a food processor, blend onion powder, thyme, basil, oregano, chile, pepper, salt, and sugar until homogeneous. Spread the spices evenly onto a large plate or baking sheet.
• Lift salmon fillets from lime juice, then flesh side down into spice mix, pressing very gently to encourage spices to stick to fish. Turn each fillet onto sides and press again.
• Heat a large grill pan over medium-high and add some oil to the pan. Once hot, add fillets skin-side down, and cook 4 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully flip and cook for a additional 5 minutes or until cooked through.

BLACKENED SALMON PASTA

Steps:

• Set salmon fillets on a plate with flesh-sides up; brush the tops with melted butter.
• Combine paprika, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, black pepper, white pepper, basil, and thyme for seasoning in a small bowl. Sprinkle seasoning evenly over top of the salmon fillets, then lightly press the spices down onto the fish.
• Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. When the pan is hot, place salmon, flesh-side down, into the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then carefully flip. Continue to cook until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 6 more minutes. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Toss with olive oil to keep it from sticking together.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, bell peppers, onion, and garlic; saute until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove vegetable mixture from the pan and add it to the bowl with the linguine.
• Drain the excess liquid from the saucepan. Add remaining 6 tablespoons butter to the pan and reduce heat to medium. Stir in half-and-half, Cajun seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thick and bubbly, about 10 minutes. Gradually stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce has thickened.
• Pour sauce over the linguine and vegetable mixture. Add tomatoes and toss to combine.
• Serve pasta in bowls topped with blackened salmon, removing the skin, if desired. Garnish with parsley.
