This blackened salmon is coated in bold Cajun spices for a smoky crust that locks in juicy tenderness. It's your answer to an easy, flavorful dinner in just 15 minutes. Tips: (1) Skinless salmon fillets work best here. If yours have skin on though, start cooking them with skin side down. (2) If you have a store bought blackening spice blend to use, skip all the seasonings in step #2 below and use 1 heaped teaspoon of the blend per fillet.
