Salmon

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the fillets skin-side down on a cutting board.

  2. 2

    Make the Spice Mix

    In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme. Mix well to create a spice blend.

  3. 3

    Season the Salmon

    Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil, then generously sprinkle the spice mix over the top of each fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Preheat the Pan

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Allow it to become hot, but not smoking.

  2. 5

    Cook the Salmon

    Place the seasoned salmon fillets in the hot skillet, skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and the salmon is cooked halfway through.

  3. 6

    Flip the Salmon

    Carefully flip the salmon fillets using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.

  4. 7

    Serve

    Remove the salmon from the skillet and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
