Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb Salmon Fillets center-cut, skin removed, cut into 1.5” cubes
- 2 tbsp Blackened seasoning click for my recipe
- 2 tbsp Butter unsalted
Instructions
- Pat the salmon dry on a cutting board to remove excess moisture for better browning.
- Sprinkle the blackened seasoning evenly over all sides, gently pressing it in.
- Heat a skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-low heat for 2–3 minutes.
- Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt and sizzle.
- Arrange the salmon in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 4 minutes to develop a good sear. Flip and continue cooking for 3–4 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through. Remove from the pan and serve warm.
Notes
- Store: Refrigerate up to 3 days in an airtight container.
- Freeze: Freeze up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Reheat: Warm gently in a skillet over low heat or microwave in short intervals to prevent drying out. They’re also great cold on salads or tucked into wraps so you might skip reheating.
