Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 slices Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps the seasoning adhere better.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Rub the salmon fillets with olive oil on both sides.
Step 5
Generously coat each salmon fillet with the prepared spice mixture. Ensure all surfaces are covered for maximum flavor.
Step 6
Place the salmon fillets skin-side up in the preheated skillet.
Step 7
Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side or until the spices form a crispy blackened crust and the salmon is cooked through to your preferred level of doneness.
Step 8
Remove the salmon from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 9
Serve the blackened salmon hot with lemon wedges on the side for a fresh citrus lift.
