- Ingredients:
- 3
- Serves:
-
2
ingredients
- 453.59 g salmon fillet (preferrably fresh but frozen works well too! Just cook it alittle longer.)
- blackening seasoning (I like Zatteran's found at most supermarkets)
- olive oil
directions
- Remove salmon from package and rub with blackening seasoning on skin free side.
- Use just enough to cover the piece of fish but not so much that you can't see the pink behind the seasoning.
- Heat grill pan on med heat and brush lightly with olive oil (very lightly) Place salmon skin side down on pan and cook on med heat until half of the salmon (from the bottom up) is opaque.
- Flip salmon and remove skin (it will peel off very easily and usually in one piece- I place it in a small plastic bag and tie it before dropping it in the garbage can to reduce fishy odors) Cook another 5-8 minutes until the entire piece of fish is opaque and runs with a white milk like substance (healthy omega fatty acids) Serve immediately with rice or potato and veggie of your choice for a healthy meal that tastes like you're at a restaurant even when you cooked it yourself!

Tadger, why so negative? This sight is for EVERYONE of all degrees of cooking skills & tastes. This was a GREAT spin on salmon, very quick for working folks and a big help to others. Can't wait for your culinary expert recipies and watch the reviews. -
I wanted to leave a comment. When I make Salmon, I always make a cucumber dill sauce. Just grind up a medium size cuke, make sure all the liquid is drained off, add sour cream, mayo, and dry dill. I use about 1/2 cup each, but it would depend on how much you need. Whip it all together, add a little pepper, and refrigerate to give the flavors time to meld. This makes the Salmon taste awesome. Thanks for the great recipes. -
Delicious! So simple too! This is the first recipe that I have tried on this site and I am so glad that I did. I am seriously challenged as a cook. Making this dish has given me courage to try more recipes. My kids really enjoyed it. My picky eater cleaned his plate. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Glory to God, I actually made this :-) !!!

This is my husband's favorite grill recipe, however, he never tried to take the skin off while grilling. We like it with ceasar salad and a crunch baguette. ingrid in tampa -
Delicious! But when going to the trouble of crisping the skin, WHY would you throw it away??!! It's the best part of the fish when it's crispy.

I live in the Boonies and love it! I am a school teacher (special ed) and for fun I love to hike, mountain bike, dance, draw, paint, sculpt and sing. I never really use cookbooks or recipes except to check for what type of seasoning a certain type of food uses (say indian food)or cooking temps. I like to experiment with different spices and create original delicious dishes. But when in doubt (for spices and temps) I usually turn to the good 'ol Joy of Cooking since it is one of the few cookbooks that lives on my shelf. My passions are the same as the things that I do for fun. Lately I am most passionate about mountain biking although that is on hold b/c I am 8 1/2 months pregnant.. so it'll be a while until I can get back out there. I am also passionate about fitness.. I practice yoga on a regualr basis and enjoy what my body is capable of.. even with a little buddha in tote!....
My pet peeves include.....laziness.. especially when it is my own...and crumbs.. anywhere YUCK! If I had a month off without responsibilities and unlimited funds (which would have to be the case or there would still be responsibilities) I would go to southern spain and live in a little villa and learn to speak spanish...ahhh that would be lovely.. or I would go on a tour of loal spas and get a massage on a daily basis... ok reality time!
