Pan-roasted salmon filets are a healthy, easy weeknight dinner. Rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, and minerals, wild salmon is considered a superfood. (Note that wild salmon are considered healthier than farmed salmon, which are raised in hatcheries on artificial diets.)
Salmon’s buttery and oily richness is part of its allure, but try balancing it out with a blackening spice blend. Blackened seasoning is a laundry list of dry spices that packs flavor into a rub for fish and meat. The seasoning is influenced by Cajun and Creole cuisine, with a blend of chiles, such as paprika and cayenne, dehydrated and dried onion and garlic, and herbs, such as thyme and oregano. The mix and the heat can vary, so it’s easy to adjust to your taste and the contents of your spice cabinet.
