This Blackened Salmon recipe is one of our most requested seafood dishes! It’s rich and satisfying and full of flavor. The blackening seasoning provides just the right amount of smoky, herby, spicy notes, and the turmeric cream sauce perfectly complements the meaty fish.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Seasoning Layering Technique 🌶️Create a dry rub by combining all blackening spices and pat the salmon fillets completely dry before applying the seasoning for maximum flavor adherence and perfect crust formation.
- Cream Sauce Stability Trick 🥄Temper the heavy cream by slowly whisking in warm turmeric and butter to prevent curdling and ensure a smooth, silky sauce consistency.
- Cast Iron Magic 🍳Use a pre-heated cast iron skillet for authentic blackening technique - it provides the most even heat distribution and creates the perfect crispy exterior on the salmon.
- Turmeric Color Control 🌈Toast the turmeric powder briefly in butter before adding cream to enhance its color, deepen the flavor, and remove any raw powder taste.
- Salmon Moisture Preservation 🐟Remove salmon from heat when it reaches 125°F internal temperature, as it will continue cooking during the 5-minute resting period, preventing overcooking and maintaining juiciness.
