Preparation
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to ensure the spice mix adheres well.
Mix all the spices in a bowl to make the blackening spice mix.
Cooking Steps
Season the Salmon:
-Rub olive oil on both sides of the salmon fillets. Generously coat the fillets with the blackening spice mix, ensuring even coverage.
Heat the Skillet:
-Heat a cast-iron skillet (or non-stick pan) over medium-high heat until hot.
Cook the Salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes without moving them, allowing the skin to crisp up.

-Gently flip the fillets and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the skillet and serve immediately.
