Instructions

Mix together blackened seasoning ingredients in a small bowl.
Pat the salmon dry. Rub the ghee onto each salmon filet. Evenly sprinkle the blackened seasoning onto each filet to generously coat. Pat down to help the seasoning stick.
Heat a stainless steel or nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the salmon, seasoning side down. Cook for 4 minutes until a blackened crust has formed.
Flip the salmon and cook for 3 minutes on the other side, or until the salmon has cooked through.
Serve right away with lime juice as desired.

Notes

Serving Suggestion: I HIGHLY recommend pairing with my Avocado Mango Salsa.

I made homemade tortillas, added some pieces of the blackened salmon, and spooned the Avocado Mango Salsa on top. Such a bright and flavorful dinner - not to mention super easy!
