Ingredients
Instructions
Pat salmon fillets dry and let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes.
In a bowl, mix paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder, oregano, and salt.
Brush the non-skin side of each fillet with half of the melted butter. Flip and brush the skin side with the remaining butter.
Generously coat all sides of the salmon with the spice mix, pressing gently so it sticks.
Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over high heat until shimmering.
Place salmon skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2–4 minutes until the skin is crisp and blackened.
Reduce heat to medium and flip the salmon. Cook another 4–5 minutes until fully cooked (145°F internal temperature).
Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and parsley.
