Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Mix the spice blend by combining paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  2. Coat each salmon fillet on both sides with the spice mixture, ensuring an even covering.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
