Ingredients
For the Salmon
- 1 whole salmon raw or 6 skin-on salmon fillets
- 1 lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1½ teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
Toppings
- 3 tablespoons butter or ghee or avocado oil
- ½ juice of a lemon
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 450°F. Wash your salmon (or leave unwashed, that is up to you), then pat try.
- Place on a prepared baking sheet. Pour the lemon juice all over the salmon, drizzle olive oil then begin to add the spices one by one all over the salmon. It is optional, but you can brush the spices all over to make sure they cover all areas like I did but it is not necessary.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes or until cooked. Garnish with minced parsley and or sliced lemons. Enjoy!
Notes
Making Ahead: Cut the salmon into fillets 1-2 days ahead of time and combine the blackened seasoning.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
Freeze in an airtight freezer container for up to 4-6 months. Reheating: Reheat in a skillet over medium heat for the best results, or in the microwave.
