Ingredients List

  • 2 tablespoons ground paprika

  • 1 tablespoon ground cayenne pepper

  • 1 tablespoon onion powder

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground white pepper

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme

  • ¼ teaspoon dried basil

  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano

  • 4 salmon fillets, skin and bones removed

Directions

  1. Mix paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, salt, white and black pepper, thyme, basil, and oregano together in a small bowl.

  2. Brush salmon fillets on both sides with 1/4 cup butter, and sprinkle evenly with the spice mixture.

  3. Heat 2 tablespoons melted butter in a large, heavy skillet over high heat. Add salmon and cook until blackened, 2 to 5 minutes.
