Video Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Blackened Salmon:

4 salmon fillets, skin on or off as per your preference
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust according to heat preference)
1 teaspoon Real Salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Citrus Cream Sauce:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Juice of 1/2 small orange
Juice of 1/2 grapefruit
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup white wine
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Introducing our Blackened Salmon with Citrus Cream Sauce: a culinary journey where the bold, smoky notes of perfectly blackened salmon meet the refreshing zest of citrus. Dive into a harmonious blend of seared ocean goodness, kissed by a sunlit sauce of lemon and orange.

Step 01:

Ensure the salmon fillets are dry. Using a paper towel, pat the fillets to remove any excess moisture.

While any type of Salmon will work for this recipe, we recommend using King Salmon or Coho Salmon fillets.

Step 02:

Mix Seasonings: In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Step 03:

Rub the spice mixture liberally onto the salmon fillets, ensuring all sides are coated.

Step 04:

Cook the Salmon: In a large skillet, heat over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets, seasoning-side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the nice blackened crust.

Step 05:

Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside while you prep the cream sauce.

Step 06:

In a new skillet, warm to medium and melt the 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the lemon and orange zest and juice to the pan, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 1-2 minutes, reducing slightly to concentrate the flavors.

‍

Step 07:

Pour in the heavy cream and let it come to a gentle simmer. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.

‍

Step 08:

Pour cream sauce onto plate or bowl. Place the blackened salmon fillets on plates and garnish with chopped parsley or zest from citrus fruits.

Step 09:

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes like steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.

Enjoy your Blackened Salmon with Cream Sauce!
