Blackened Cajun Salmon

• 2 Tablespoons Smoked Paprika
• 2 teaspoons Dried Thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
• 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
• 2 teaspoons Grill Seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Pepper

1. 1.
2. In a shallow dish, combine all the spices.
3. Start with 1/4 teaspoon salt and add more if the spice mix isnt salty enough.
4. 2.
5. Put one salmon fillet in the spice mix at a time, making sure to thoroughly coat the entire surface.
6. Let the fillets rest for 5 to 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
7. 3.
8. Heat a heavy frying pan under high heat and let it warm up for several minutes.
9. You want a heavy pan so the spices on the fish dont burn.
10. You want it to be hot before adding the fish so the spices quickly caramelize and dont let the oil soak through to the fish.
11. 4.
12. Drizzle a thin layer of the oil, then add the fillets to the pan.
13. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets, but mine cooked for about 3 minutes per side.
14. Let the fish sit in the pan; only flip it once.
15. This gives the heat and spices time to do their work.
16. Serve immediately.
