A magical dish featuring perfectly cooked salmon fillets coated in a flavorful spice mix that creates a delicious charred crust.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Mix the spice medley in a small bowl: combine smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Rub the spice mixture generously over the salmon fillets to create a flavorful crust.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
