Description
Bold & Blackened Salmon served with a creamy Dijon sauce, perfect for a special dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons blackening seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and the blackening seasoning.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned salmon fillets skin-side down. Sear the fillets for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
- Carefully flip the fillets and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon is baking, prepare the creamy Dijon sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Heat over low, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until warmed through.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and drizzle with the creamy Dijon sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- This dish pairs well with a side of vegetables or a fresh salad.
- Adjust the amount of blackening seasoning to taste.
- Can be served with rice or potatoes for a complete meal.
