Ingredients

Scale

  • 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.
