Equipment

Small bowl
Baking Sheet
Pastry Brush

Ingredients

4 salmon fillets
2 Tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons blackened seasoning
chopped parsley or lemon optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425℉.
In a small bowl, melt butter in the microwave. Combine the blackened seasoning with melted butter and stir well.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place salmon on the baking sheet.
Using a pastry brush, brush the seasoned butter mixture over the salmon fillets.
Bake salmon for 10-12 minutes or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Notes

Storage: Leftover salmon should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
When melting the butter, keep an eye on it and heat in short increments so it doesn't boil over.
Apply a generous amount of seasoning to fully cover the fillets.
For an even crispier finish, turn on the broiler for the final 2-3 minutes of baking. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning, and you'll get that perfect blackened texture! Salmon should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
