Instructions

Prepare the Blackening Spice

In a small bowl, mix together paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, black pepper, and salt.
Set aside the spice mix for later use.

Prepare the Salmon

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.
Rub the spice mix generously over both sides of each salmon fillet.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook the Salmon

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down if applicable.
Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a crust forms.
Flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

Serve

Remove the salmon from the skillet and let it rest for a minute.
Serve with lemon wedges and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
