"grilled" Salmon

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 2 (5 ounce) salmon fillets (or chicken or lamb)
• blackening seasoning, of your choice (blackening spice mix, store bought or your own recipe)

Recipe

• 1 just spray cast iron skillet with cooking spray and turn burner on high.
• 2 rub seasonings on both sides salmon.
• 3 when pan is smoking hot, add salmon; cook for about 2-3 minutes; turn and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
• 4 turn again if needed to prevent meat from burning.
• 5 turn electric burner off.
• 6 immediately cover skillet and leave it on the hot burner another 4-5 minutes or until meat is done.
• 7 do not overcook, as the meat will dry out.
• 8 it will look as if it were cooked on the grill, nice and brown (almost crusty) on the outside and juicy on the inside.
• 9 i also use this same method to cook boneless, skinless chicken breasts and boneless lamb loin chops and vary the seasonings to complement the meat.
• 10 with just a tiny bit of practice, you'll know exactly how long to let the skillet sit on the burner after you have turned it off-- so you get the meat done and it's still very juicy.
