Blackened Salmon Avocado Oil (Print Version)
Sear robust salmon in avocado oil, toss on some herbs and a bit of lime. Smoky, quick, and super easy.
# Ingredients:
→ Main
01 -

02 -
1 tablespoon blackened seasoning, add as you like
03 -
4 wild salmon fillets, around 6 ounces each
→ To Serve
04 -
Fresh parsley, if you want
05 -
Lime slices, if you feel like it
# Instructions:
01 -
Pop the cooked salmon right onto plates. Toss some parsley and lime on top if you’re into that, and dig in while it’s hot.
02 -
Flip the salmon gently and cook the other side for another couple of minutes. The fish should flake super easy and you’ll see the fat melt out a bit.
03 -
Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in your skillet over pretty high heat. Drop the salmon fillets in—seasoned side down. Let them really sizzle for 2 to 3 minutes, until they get a nice dark crust and come loose from the pan easily.
04 -
Sprinkle a good amount of blackened seasoning all over your fillets. Then just leave the salmon on the counter for 10 to 15 minutes so it can start soaking up the flavor.
05 -
Blot every fillet as dry as you can with a paper towel. Drizzle one tablespoon of avocado oil all over the top and rub it in.
# Notes:
01 -
Bringing your salmon out of the fridge ahead of time helps it cook evenly and gives you a better sear.
