Ingredients

For Chili Lime Blackening Seasoning

  • 1 tsp. Kosher Salt It's important to use Kosher salt here. Fine salt will be too salty.
  • 1/2 tsp. Chili Powder
  • 1/2 tsp. Oregano
  • 1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp. Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp. Lime Zest

Salmon

  • 4 Salmon Filets About 4 ounces each. Skin Removed.
  • 2 tbsp. Avocado Oil

Instructions

  • Mix together the Chili Lime Seasoning Ingredients. Set Aside.
  • Divide salmon into 4- 4 ounce portions. Make sure skin is removed.
  • Cover all sides of the salmon with the rub.
  • Heat a cast iron (or other heavy bottom skillet) over medium high heat. Add 2 tbsp. of avocado oil.
  • When the oil is shimmering and hot add in the salmon filets. Cook 3 minutes per side. Make sure to brown the salmon on all sides. The salmon flakes easily when it's cooked through.
  • Move the salmon off to a plate and cover with pico de gallo (see recipe in notes link). Enjoy!

Notes

I used this recipe for Pico De Gallo from my site. You could also buy a pico de gallo at the grocery store if you want to make this easier.
