Salmon is far and away the most popular fresh seafood that we carry at Trader Joe’s, and it’s easy to see why. Nutritious, versatile, and remarkably easy to work with, salmon typically only needs a bit of seasoning before it’s ready to be cooked. Over the years, we’ve received many requests from our customers for pre-seasoned salmon, to make it even easier to go from the fridge to the dinner table. That’s precisely why we’re introducing Trader Joe’s Blackened Salmon to our fresh meat and seafood section. These boneless, skin-on fillets come prepped and ready with a mélange of savory (and slightly spicy) seasonings, including garlic, onion, smoked paprika, chipotle peppers, and demerara sugar on its surface. As it cooks in the pan, oven, broiler, or especially the air fryer, this layer of seasonings creates a flavorful and texturally satifying Blackened outer crust. A sublimely simple entrée option for everything from busy weeknight dinners to meal- prepped work lunches, and beyond, we recommend pairing Trader Joe’s Blackened Salmon with a bed of fluffy white rice, a few spears of steamed asparagus, and an oaky, buttery Chardonnay, like our very own Big Churn.
