Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
  • 4 (6 oz) fillets of wild-caught salmon (I used king salmon)
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, garlic powder and kosher salt. Rub all over the fish.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes. Brush with the oil.
  • Place the fish in the skillet. Cook until blackened and crisp, 3 minutes per side.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and cover it tightly with foil. Allow the salmon to finish cooking from the residual heat, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
