Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 skin-on fresh salmon fillets (wild-caught preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon Fillets: Pat the salmon fillets dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Lightly brush olive oil over both sides of the fillets to keep them moist during cooking and help the seasoning adhere.
  2. Mix the Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to blend all the flavors evenly.
  3. Season the Salmon: Generously sprinkle the seasoning mixture over both sides of the salmon fillets, pressing lightly to ensure the spices stick and provide balanced flavor.
  4. Cook the Salmon: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a bit more olive oil. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden. Flip carefully and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of about 125°F.
  5. Finish and Serve: Remove the salmon from the heat, squeeze fresh lemon juice on top, and let it rest for a couple of minutes. This brightens the dish and allows juices to redistribute for a tender, flavorful finish.

Notes

  • Pat the salmon dry before applying oil and seasoning to achieve a crisp skin.
  • Preheat the skillet well to prevent sticking and ensure a good sear.
  • Keep the salmon skin-on for better texture and to help the fillet hold together.
  • Avoid overcooking; salmon is best when it flakes easily but remains moist.
  • Allow the salmon to rest after cooking for maximum tenderness.
