Ingredients
For the Salmon
- 4 (6oz) salmon fillets, skin on or off
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup Blackening seasoning
- 2 cups pineapple salsa
- For serving: fresh cilantro and lime wedges
Instructions
- Make the spice blend. If you haven't already, make our Blackening seasoning blend. This should be stored in a cool place with other spices. It will keep for up to 1 year!
- Season the salmon. Drizzle each salmon filet (or whole side of salmon) with 1 tsp of olive oil, then sprinkle Blackening seasoning equally on each piece. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Make the pineapple-avocado salsa. While this is best on the first day, the leftovers will keep for 4-5 days in a fridge, so can easily be prepped in advance.
- Cook the salmon. Preheat a grill over medium-high heat, then coat with grill spray or a little neutral oil. Place the salmon skin side up directly on the grates, then cook for 3 minutes, or until the salmon pulls away easily from the grates. Use tongs to carefully flip, then cook the salmon another 2 minutes, or until salmon reaches an internal temperature of 120°F / 49°C.
- Garnish, then serve. Spoon pineapple salsa on top of blackened salmon, then serve immediately with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
Notes
- Make ahead: You can season the salmon fillets then store in a refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
- Leftovers: Store leftover blackened salmon in a fridge for up to 3 days. Remember, seafood has a shorter shelf life compared to poultry or meat.
- To freeze: Cooked salmon can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw the salmon completely overnight in a refrigerator before reheating.
- Reheat gently in a microwave or in a preheated oven at 350°F for 7-10 minutes.
