Fire up succulent blackened salmon with an exciting blend of Cajun-style spices! Mix paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, salt, white and black pepper, thyme, basil, and oregano together in a small bowl. Brush salmon fillets on both sides with 1/4 cup butter, and sprinkle evenly with the spice mixture.
Generously rub the homemade blackened seasoning over the salmon fillets. If your salmon fillets are large you may need more spice rub. Heat your cast iron skillet to a medium heat and add about 2 tbsp olive oil to the pan. When it's hot, add the salmon skin side down.
