A sticky, blackened fillet of grilled salmon is the epitome of a summertime meal. The easy blackening seasoning can be made with pantry staples that you have in your own kitchen. Combined with honey and a little olive oil, it becomes a sweet and smoky marinade for lean wild-caught salmon.
The sugars and the paprika in the marinade come to life with some char from the grill, caramelizing when exposed to direct heat. If you don’t have a grill, you can slide the marinated salmon beneath a hot broiler for about 4 to 6 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fillet), checking frequently to prevent burning.
