Easy, healthy blackened salmon has a powerful taste that will keep you coming back to this recipe!
It’s official, this is the best way to cook salmon inside. I’m a big fan of grilled salmon, but when that’s not available, this is a fantastic alternative! The great thing about this recipe is you can make the salmon as spicy as you want it! You can substitute your favorite seasoning and prepare it this way for a kick ass bite every time! The key is you cook it skin side up for a few minutes on the stove, then finish in the oven.
