Good job, Iron Chef Alex! This was perfect, better than any restaurant, even though I used steelhead trout instead of "real" salmon. One important recommendation for all cooks out there: do this OUTSIDE!!! I did mine inside because it was raining, and the wife almost murdered me because the house smelled for 3 days afterwards.

Great recipe. I've tried other blackened fish recipes with success, but this one goes to the top of the list. I agree the fresh lemon finish should not be skipped. I used smoked paprika ( the blend from Trader Joes and dried herbs since that's what I had on hand. I think the dried herbs held up very well in the high heat. Yum!

Omg this is a keeper! Thanks Alex! I loved the heat! I had it over a mixed salad w/ olive oil and balsamic w/ pickled beets and a little goats cheese! My husband said this one we need to remember... We did ours in cast iron on a gas burner out side!

Very good! The lemon is key..also really liked the subtle heat from the cayenne. I did not find it too overpowering like some other reviewers stated. And I ended up substituting 1 teaspoon dried thyme, in place of the 5 sprigs since I halved it, for the fresh since I did not have it on hand.

Probably the best blackened salmon I've ever had, and I've had many. I did ours in a cast iron skillet on our gas grill. Oil up the skillet and place on grill grates until it smokes. Our salmon fillets, which were skinless, were no more than 1/2 inch thick so I cooked the first side for a minute and the other side for 45 seconds. That's it! We also put a teaspoon of basil compound butter on each fillet after drizzling the juice and zest. Wonderful! Enjoy.

I just made this using 1/2 tablespoon of cayenne and my family is recovering from the heat as I write. Are some cayenne powders more powerful than others? For me, and I can take a bit of heat, but not too, too much, I would use a tsp at most in this recipe.

I cooked this tonight for dinner. It was very easy and quick to prepare. The salmon was absolutely delicious with such great flavor. My husband kept saying "This is so good". Thanks for the recipe!

I love spicy food, but the amount of cayenne was hot to me. I made it again using half the amount of cayenne and it was wonderful. My husband was able to eat this time because it was too hot for him the first time I made it. I thought 1 Tbsp of cayenne seemed like it was too much, but when I read the reviews most people said it was spicy which is what I wanted and got hot instead.
