Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. Combine all of the spices together to make your blackening seasoning.
3. Place your salmon filet skin side down on an oven safe baking pan and rub the flesh side with a good amount of olive oil.  This will help to keep the flesh from drying out and your spice rub from burning.
4. Generously sprinkle the blackening seasoning all over the flesh side of the salmon filet.  No need to worry about rubbing it in as the olive oil will bind it to the fish.
5. Put the salmon into the oven and bake for 20-22 minute, or until an instant read thermometer reads 125°F at the thickest part of the filet.  Once the salmon reaches 125°F remove it from the oven.
6. Turn the broiler onto High heat.
7. Put the salmon into the broiler for 3-4 minutes to get a light char on the blackening seasoning.  (You'll want to check the salmon every minute to make sure you don't overdue the char and burn the seasoning.)
