Ingredients

1 teaspoon sweet paprika
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 (6-ounce) salmon filets
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps

1
Mix the seasoning. In a small bowl, stir together the paprika, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
2
Season the salmon. Drizzle one tablespoon of oil on top of the salmon and rub it in. Sprinkle the seasoning on top and rub that in to evenly coat.
3
Cook the salmon. Heat the remaining two tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon, and cook it top side down for 2 to 3 minutes, until the top is blackened. Flip and cook another 2 to 3 minutes, until cooked through.
4
To serve. A fresh squeeze of lemon or lime before serving balances the spice flavor beautifully.
