Instructions

• Preheat a 12- or 14-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
• Pat the 1 pound salmon filets dry with a paper towel.
• Rub the salmon all over with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Sprinkle and rub 1 tablespoon blackened seasoning evenly over the salmon (both sides, if desired).
• Place the salmon in the hot skillet skin side up if the filets have skin; if skinless, place the side you want to present down. Cook undisturbed for about 3–4 minutes.
• Carefully flip the salmon and cook an additional 3–4 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque, flakes easily with a fork, and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
• Remove from the skillet and let rest for a minute or two before serving.
