Blackened Baked Salmon

"With just minutes in the oven, you’ll have boldly flavored blackened salmon on your table. No smoked up kitchen or ultra high heat is needed. Salmon is an ideal fish to cook with this modified technique of blackening. It’s firm texture and hearty flavor make the perfect marriage with the distinct flavors of the homemade blackened seasoning. This way of cooking was popularized back in the early 1980’s by Chef Paul Prudhomme at his restaurant in New Orleans. It involves a cast iron skillet heated to very high heat, a dip into a bowl of melted butter, coating with the seasoning, and then cooking fast and hot until almost charred. "
