Blackened Lemon Pepper Salmon Recipe

Blackened Lemon Pepper Salmon with lemon pepper seasoning and lemon juice is an easy dinner idea! This three-ingredient meal is also budget friendly!

Fish based meals never used to be a favorite meal of mine.  That is until we got married.

 

My husband has been trying to help me learn what type of fish I like and do not like. So I have been trying to come up with more ideas of how to make Fish based meals. I think we have hit a Home Run with this one!This simple salmon dinner goes together quickly and with just a few ingredients.

WHAT SIDES GO WITH LEMON PEPPER SALMON? 

Honestly, the best side that pairs perfectly with Salmon is Asparagus! There is just something about that vegetable that works well with this protein. If you are looking for an Asparagus recipe, our Bacon and Asparagus Bundles may just fit the bill. 

WHY IS SALMON GOOD FOR YOU?  

Salmon is full of Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B12.

SHOULD YOU TAKE THE SKIN OFF OF SALMON BFORE COOKING? 

It is best to only remove the skin if you are poaching the salmon. If you are preparing it any other way, such as baking, leave the skin on.

Blackened Lemon Pepper Salmon Ingredients: 

Lemon Pepper Seasoning

Fresh Salmon

Lemon Juice

Oil

Directions for Blackened Lemon Pepper Salmon: 

Take your fresh salmon and coat it in lemon juice. Make sure to cover both sides.

Once your lemon juice has had a few seconds to soak in, coat both sides of the salmon with lemon pepper seasoning.

In a frying pan, heat a small amount of oil.

Once the oil is heated, lay your salmon in the pan, and cook it on both sides for about 3-5 minutes or until blackened.

Blackened does not mean black/burnt. It means it is crispier than normal. The lemon pepper seasoning will help to bring this appearance about more easily.
