# Ingredients:
→ Main
01 -
4 wild salmon fillets, 170 grams each
02 -
3 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
03 -
1 tablespoon blackened seasoning, or to taste
→ To Serve
04 -
Lime wedges, optional
05 -
Fresh parsley, optional
# Instructions:
01 -
Pat each salmon fillet thoroughly dry with a paper towel. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of avocado oil evenly over the surface of each fillet.
02 -
Sprinkle blackened seasoning generously and evenly over the tops of the fillets. Allow the salmon to stand at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
03 -
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons avocado oil in a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets, seasoned side down, into the hot oil. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes until well charred and the fish releases easily from the pan.
04 -
Carefully flip each fillet and continue cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until the fat renders and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
05 -
Transfer salmon to plates and serve immediately with lime wedges and fresh parsley, if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
Allowing the salmon to reach room temperature before cooking promotes even searing and optimal texture.
