Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spice Mix

    In a small bowl, combine paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Season the Salmon

    Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Rub olive oil over both sides of the fillets, then generously coat them with the spice mix, pressing it into the flesh.

  3. 3

    Heat the Pan

    Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add a little olive oil to coat the bottom.

  4. 4

    Cook the Salmon

    Place the seasoned salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down (if skin-on). Cook for about 4-5 minutes, until the skin is crispy. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the salmon from the skillet and let rest for a minute. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
