Method
Cooking Directions
Prepare the Spice Mix
In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create a spice blend.
Season the Salmon
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Rub the spice mix generously over both sides of each fillet.
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Cook the Salmon
Add the seasoned salmon fillets to the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and has a blackened crust.
