Recently I've been on a serious blackened spice kick. I guess it reminds me of summer when I always seem to order Blackened Mahi-Mahi, Salmon or Tilapia if we go out for seafood. The craving for this seasoning hit me one day so I looked it up and found that it was super easy.
Once you get the process down you can blacken pretty much anything! I have Blackened Salmon and Chicken pictured in the recipe but feel free to get creative with this spice. (I'm seriously considering trying to blacken a burger or meatloaf next time around!!)
The blackened color comes from the paprika and other spices becoming charred. But don't worry- your dinner won't have a burnt taste to it. I also like to add Old Bay seasoning just to give my fish/chicken a little more kick!
