Ingredients
4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika (preferably smoked)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or dill (for garnish)
Lemon slices (optional, for serving)
Instructions
1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and let them come to room temperature for about 10–15 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, mix together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.
3. Rub the seasoning blend evenly over the tops and sides of each salmon fillet.
4. Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottom pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for 4–5 minutes without moving them.
6. Flip the salmon and cook for another 3–4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 125–130°F and the fish flakes easily.
7. In the last minute of cooking, drizzle honey and lemon juice over the fillets and let it bubble into a glaze. Spoon over the fish to coat.
8. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped herbs and lemon slices, and serve immediately.
