Easy Lemon-Pepper Blackened Salmon

butter, melted

lemon juice

parsley

garlic powder

salt and black pepper

black peppercorns

salmon fillets

olive oil

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).


Whisk together the butter, lemon juice, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the peppercorns. Dip the salmon into the sauce so the flesh side is coated, and set on a plate,


Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to smoke, add the salmon, placing it skin side up into the skillet. Cook for until the flesh is seared and golden brown, about 1 minute.


Place the skillet into the preheated oven, and cook until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve immediately.


This came out really good! I didn't have the peppercorns, unfortunately, so I probably was missing something crucial, but I still really liked it. The sauce was tasty, but simple enough to let the taste of the salmon come through. Will definitely make salmon this way again!

Excellent way to cook salmon! I used minced garlic instead of garlic powder, skipped the whole black peppercorns (hubby doesn't like too much heat) as well as the oven step, and just pan seared the fish. Flavorful and yet not over-powering. Used the same sauce for shrimps too for a great side.

I have had two wild salmon filets in my freezer for a couple of months that were given to my husband by a salmon distributor.  We are not big fish eaters-ok, I am not a big fish eater but I decided I was tired of looking at them in my freezer and chose the recipe to give it a try.  I made this exactly as stated in the recipe and it was actually pretty good - for fish!  My seven year old son even kept commenting on how good it was - once he got over the shock that I actually cooked fish.  I would highly recommend it to any fish lovers out there.

I hate salmon, as does my husband, but the doctor recommended he start eating it weekly. This recipe was AWESOME! I almost didn't wake my toddler up from his nap just so I could eat his. In the end, motherly instinct won out and guess what? Even a three year old loves this recipe.

This was really good. I used a lot more lemon then usually because I love lemon but overall it was really good. I did skip the oven part to make it quicker and just cooked it over the skillet. 

This was very, very good... I would really change anything... it goes great with mashed potatoes...

Absolutely Awesome!!! I didn't have the peppercorn or parsley the recipe called for so it may have been better if I had all the ingredients :-) I put the salmon over angel hair pasta w/ roasted garlic alfredo sauce... Delicious!

Wow! My $2 salmon following this recipe was way better than $20 salmon cook of a hotel restaurant. I really like it! and I didn't even have to give a tip! lol :D Thx.

This was a wonderful recipe. Didn't change anything. I like fish, but am afraid to make it because it never turned out right. This one turned out perfectly, even as leftovers. My 3y old even liked it. This one is a keeper.

We added lemon zest to the mix and it was awesome! My daughter cooked this for our dinner... it was easy for her to cook!

Very easy recipe to make! my guest loved it!! made with side of homestyle garlic mashed potatoes and romaine salad ! with chardonnay wine to accompany the food:)

This was a Recipe of the day and I was surprised to have all the ingredients. Wow This was a great dish, I didn't change a thing. Keeping this recipe handy. :~)

This recipe is great! It really makes the fish taste fresh and flavorful.

great flavor! loved it! will do it again!

I liked it very much and so did hubby. Quick and easy to prepare.

This was the easiest salmon recipe I've ever made. I love how quick it was b/c I throw together last minute dinners all the time. The ingredients are usually on hand and if not, easily substituted. Thanks for an awesome, quick dinner idea!

I made this today, for lunch. And my family's impressed! One of the best salmon recipes I've tried.

This sauce is the BEST thing ever.  I LOVE it on potatoes, maybe even more than on the original chicken.  It's great on the chicken too, but it's so versatile-- you can cover everything on the plate with it-- your chicken, your veggies, your potatoes... heck, cover a gym shoe with this stuff and I'd eat it!

I'm 14 and my mom makes the salmon really plain and without flavor. So i offered to make it myself, i followed this recipe and everyone loved it! My mom is even asking for the recipe! :)

Simple but delicious. I even slightly lowered the butter and oil for diet reasons, and it was still great. Thank you!

It was amazing, I am looking forward to making this again soon. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and family.

This recipe came out great!  I didn't even have all the ingredients.  I skipped the peppercorns and since I didn't have parsley, I used rosemary instead.  It seared beautifully and looks fantastic.  I can't wait to eat it.  Thanks for posting this quick and easy recipe.

I cooked this and the 12 minutes recommended still had my salmon raw had to cook for like 15 more minutes. 
And do you cook in the oven with the skin side up too?

Amazing. I am no expert cook, but this recipe came out absolutely delicious. The boyfriend was well impressed too. I garnished the cooked salmon with some onions fried in the remainder of the butter seasoning...served with petite pois and mashed potatoe...yum! Definitely making that again!

I cooked this one for my husband, our 3 1/2 yr old son, and a houseguest and it was a big hit!  That's saying something because our son is a very picky eater...i served it over seasoned rice (with old bay, baltimore style) and with a fried squash recipe from here also!  Many rave reviews!

Very good, but I think a little greasy.  Maybe cut back on olive oil.

I'm a beginner cook (especially fish) and this recipe was excellent! Easy to make and came out delicious...my hubby was very impressed! Thanks

DELICIOUS!! I made this exactly as directed and served with quinoa and broccoli. I felt like I was eating at a 5 star restaurant. It was very good and so quick and simple. Thanks for this fabulous recipe!

This is a super easy recipe that goes very well with salmon. It was delicious and now my go to salmon recipe when I have lemon in the house.

Great recipe. Got my family to try salmon with this recipe. I use a grill pan which gives it nice blackened strips

Husband and i had this last week, and we can't wait to eat it again!!!! we got Fresh fish from Salmon, and had it with Roasted Garlic and olive oil couscous and brocolli... the only thing i did different was add  (literally) a pinch of roasted garlic to the "paste" absolutely amazing!!!! #FamilyFavorite #husbandaprroved

Loved it! Tasted great, I skipped the peppercorns, but was still pleased with the end result.

It’s really good, I used fresh cilantro and basil leaves instead of parsley and did 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Definitely making this one again!!!!

I made this without prior planning, so did not have fresh parsley, but this was melt-in-your-mouth delicious!  This will be my "go-to" salmon recipe from now on!

It was my first time preparing fish, it turned out pretty well overall. However I was dealing with pretty hefty and thick fillets so I had to improvise quite a lot. But it was very good paired with spicy oven baked broccoli.

I had frozen salmon that was sitting in my freezer that needed to be used before it expired. My husband wanted me to prepare it differently than I usually do, which is broil with an Asian style dressing. I found this because we like lemon pepper seasoned seafood and chicken and it was a recipe I gad all the ingredients . The only thing I did differently, was that I used fresh chopped garlic instead of garlic powder, ( fresh garlic is always better!) My husband and I loved it.

Excellent as written. My husband, who does not like salmon, ate his entire portion. This is also compliant with the candida diet.

This was great and quick dish. Easy dish to makeafter a long day working. Easy clean up too.

Easy recipe, but I wish there was more seasoning. Instead of baking after sautéing, we just sautéed for 5-6 minutes instead which made the skin even crispier.

easy. Kept very moist.  Don't skip on the pepper.

My 20 yr old son asked me to make this recipe again specifically. He loves it.

This was a great recipe. Very easy and better than going to a restaurant!

This turned out really well, but it didn't sear very well. There was too much sauce, so it almost boiled the salmon on the stovetop rather than sear it. The flavor was great and the salmon was moist.

I used the recipe exactly. Think I'll try again with some changes! Probably just me!

Very delicious my family loved it and made it a favorite

Loved it. Easy to make and came out awesome..

Fast and easy I used no butter a lot of lemon

My husband loved it, I altered it slightly by using the air fryer for 7 minutes on 350 degrees after searing it then I brushed the mixture over the salmon again once it was done

OMG I loved this. I didn't  change anything, only I added additional lemon pepper (between 1/2 and 1 tsp). I will be baking this time and again! Thank You!
