Blackened salmon. It’s not burnt, it’s just dark from the spice mix so don’t get getting all ‘it’s carcinogenic’ on me. Just calm down. It packs a massive flavour punch and the fact that you can just whack it in the oven to cook means that is a perfect CBF dinner. Hot tip for new players; make a double or triple batch of the spice mix and store it in an airtight jar in the cupboard and you’ll have it on hand and ready to go for next time. Efficiency level, expert. If you don’t fancy salmon you can absolutely use white fish or even chicken. You do you boo.
