Blackened salmon is a flavorful dish originating from Cajun and Creole cuisine, popularized in the southern United States. The salmon is coated with a bold blend of spices such as paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and thyme, then seared at high heat to create a smoky, caramelized crust. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, salmon supports heart health, brain function, and inflammation reduction. It's also an excellent source of high-quality protein, vitamin D, and B vitamins. A lower-calorie entrée, blackened salmon balances healthfulness with robust taste. However, its preparation often involves added oils or butter for searing, which can increase the fat and calorie content. Pairing this dish with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad can enhance its nutritional value while keeping it light and balanced. Whether served standalone or in a taco or wrap, blackened salmon provides a nutrient-packed, irresistibly savory meal.
