This is my method for getting a nice, spicy crust on blackened salmon while the inside stays juicy and tender. Avocado salsa compliments the blackened seasoning and helps calm the heat. I like to serve it over rice. This recipe is easily doubled.

Ingredients

1 avocado, diced
1/3 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 teaspoons diced jalapeno, seeds removed
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 (8-ounce) skin-on salmon filets
1 1/2 tablespoons blackened seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Combine avocado, onion, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeno, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
Place salmon, skin side down, on a clean work surface. Divide blackened seasoning between the two filets and rub on all sides of the filets.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place filets, skin side up, in the hot skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Using tongs, carefully turn filets over so that the skin is now down in the hot oil. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork, about 2 minutes more. Serve with avocado salsa.
