Notes
You can make different kinds of seafood, such as blackened mahi-mahi, tuna, swordfish, shrimp, redfish, blackened catfish, etc. Add some cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix for spice. Make grilled blackened salmon rather than baked salmon. Want to just cook it on a skillet on your stovetop, go right ahead. Use skin-on or skinless salmon filets. Serve the salmon with cream sauce.
