Blackened Salmon - This recipe is so simple and absolutely delicious! We highly recommend using a seasoned cast iron pan for this recipe if you have one in the house! In a small bowl combine your favorite spices we recommend some garlic, paprika, and salt. Coat the salmon in your spice mixture. Heat your cast iron skillet with oil on high heat until nearly smoking and place the fish flesh side down for approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Use a spatula to turn the salmon to the other side. Cook the salmon over medium heat, until the skin becomes crispy, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and squeeze some lemon zest on your fish and enjoy!
Brown Sugar Salmon - Preheat oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Take your filet and place it in the center of the baking sheet folding tin foil up around your salmon. Take your brown sugar mix olive oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and generously cover salmon! Cook for 20 - 25 minutes until salmon is fully cooked!
Lemon Zest Salmon - This one is simple and easy! Take your salmon and grate lemon zest on top add salt, pepper, and fresh lemon juice! We also will take a few cuts of lemon and cook it on top of the fish for extra flavor! Cook at 350 for 20-25 minutes until fully cooked through!
Enjoy!
