Blackened Chicken

Ingredients

* 1 tablespoon paprika
* 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon pepper
* 1 teaspoon onion powder
* 1 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Directions

1. Blend all.
2. For Salmon: Rub onto 6 salmon fillets. Fry on med-hi for 2-3 min per side.
3. For Chicken: Rub onto 4 chicken breasts. Preheat oven to 350*F. Heat frying pan on med-hi. Cook 1 min/side to blacken. Transfer to oven. Bake 5-10 min until juices run clear.

This scales up nicely - I keep a bottle in my cupboard for whenever the mood strikes for fantastic blackened meat.
