👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels; this helps the seasoning adhere and ensures a crispier crust. Prepare your blackened seasoning blend in a shallow dish.
2. Melt the unsalted butter in a separate shallow dish. Dip each side of the salmon fillet into the melted butter, then generously coat both sides with the blackened seasoning blend, pressing gently to adhere.
3. Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet over high heat until it's smoking hot. Add the seasoned salmon fillets to the hot skillet, cooking for 2-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until a dark, crusty exterior forms and the fish is cooked through.
4. Remove the blackened salmon from the skillet and serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs or lemon wedges if desired. It pairs wonderfully with a side of rice or a fresh green salad.
