For Serving

Method

Preparation of the Marinade

  1. 1

    Combine Seasonings

    In a medium bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.

  2. 2

    Prepare Salmon

    Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. This helps the seasoning adhere better.

  3. 3

    Season Salmon

    Drizzle olive oil over the salmon fillets on both sides. Then, generously sprinkle the spice mixture over the salmon, coating all sides.

Cooking the Salmon

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a skillet, heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add a bit of oil.

  2. 5

    Cook Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets skin side down on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and blackened on the outside.

  3. 6

    Check for Doneness

    The salmon should be opaque and easily flake with a fork. Remove from heat.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Salmon

    Serve the salmon fillets on a bed of mixed greens or your choice of salad.

  2. 8

    Garnish

    Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for extra flavor.
