Homemade Blackening Seasoning

Homemade Blackening Seasoning

This Homemade Blackening Seasoning is so, so good! We love making our own seasoning. It allows us to control the amounts of each spice that we add and make sure that we include some of our favorites (big fans of black pepper and smoked paprika over here!). This spice blend will be pretty bold and concentrated in flavor on its own, but once you add it to your favorite proteins (we love to use it on our Blackened Salmon), the flavors spread out and soften beautifully.
