My favorite tips:

*The beauty of this recipe is how quick and easy it is to prepare a DELICIOUS and HEALTHY dinner!
*You can use your favorite blackening seasoning or mix one up from your pantry spices. If you are gluten-free, please make sure your spice blend does not contain gluten. To prepare your own, combine a teaspoon each of the following: paprika, oregano, onion powder, cumin, salt, garlic powder, chili powder, and cayenne (you can decrease the cayenne to make it a bit milder if you like.)
*You may need to adjust cooking time depending on the thickness of your salmon. You want it browned on the outside and cooked through. It should flake easily with a fork.
*A fish spatula is designed to help lift your cooked fish from the pan without tearing the filet. It is so handy for lifting and flipping fish, eggs, pancakes, and other items!
*I love to serve this with simple delicious side dishes, such as cauliflower rice and oven-roasted asparagus.
