Heat the Pan
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Allow it to get hot, which will help create a nice sear on the salmon.

Cook the Salmon
Once the skillet is hot, place the seasoned salmon fillets skin-side down (if skin-on) in the pan. Cook for about 4-5 minutes without moving them, allowing the spices to blacken and the fish to cook through. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until cooked to your liking.

Serve
Remove the salmon from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve hot with your choice of side dishes.
