In a small bowl combine all the seasonings. (salt, pepper, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon oregano, and 1 teaspoon smoked paprika)
Coat the 10 ounces salmon fillets with ½ tablespoon of the 1 tablespoon olive oil, then rub with the seasoning mix all over.
Heat the remaining oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-low heat. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400F.
Cook the salmon fillets for around 2 minutes per side, or until blackened.
Squeeze over the lime juice from 2 limes and finish it off by cooking in the oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is flaky.
Serve with lime wedges and enjoy!

This turned out Fabulous!! Used avocado oil as suggested for an alternative to olive oil… and next time I will add even more spices and like juice!! Simple and delicious!

My husband loved his blackened salmon!! We had some wild caught so I thought I'd so something different other then baking. I followed the recipe exactly and I will be making this more often. Seeing my husbands eyes brighten up when taking that first bite was rewarding and then came the words "it was a very delicious dinner. Thanks for the recipe!!

I loved the cooking method for this salmon. For some reason the taste was a bit off for us. My guess is that it was a reaction between the lime juice and my cast iron pan choice. I'll try it again using stainless steel. Thank you!
