Healthy Pan Seared Salmon with Mango Salsa

pan seared salmon

The warm weather is slowly coming to Connecticut. We just had our first Spring day in the 70’s and I’m already thinking of my garden and all the fresh, homemade salsa! Last year I grew tomatoes and peppers and used them both in my peach salsa and blueberry basil salsa.

I wanted to grill the salmon for this recipe, but my husband claims I didn’t ask him to make sure we had gas for the grill. It’s what I like to call selective hearing! Oh well, it all worked out because pan searing this salmon then finishing it in the oven is my favorite way to cook salmon if its not on the grill. Plus, it allowed me to prep the salsa at the same time, making this a 30-minute meal!

Easy Blackened Salmon

June 14, 2017 by Leave a Comment

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. 

Easy Blackened Salmon

Ingredients 

  • 1 lb salmon
  • 1 1/2 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • Salt
  • Olive oil

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 
  2. Season salmon with salt. In a small bowl, wisk together the brown sugar and chili powder. Rub mixture onto salmon.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Sear salmon skin side up for 2-3 minutes (depending on how thick the salmon is). Flip and transfer cast iron into oven and cook for 3 minutes or until salmon is flaky.
