Method
Preparation
- 1
Make the Spice Mix
In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until all spices are evenly combined.

Prepare the Salmon
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. This helps the spices adhere better and promotes a good sear. Place the salmon on a clean plate or cutting board.
Cooking
- 3
Season the Salmon
Rub the spice mix generously over the top and sides of each salmon fillet. Ensure an even coating for maximum flavor.

Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it's shimmering but not smoking.
- 5
Cook the Salmon
Carefully place the salmon fillets in the hot skillet, skin side down if applicable. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and the salmon is cooked halfway through. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness.
