Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)
- Lemon wedges and fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
-
Prepare the Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix paprika, salt, black pepper, oregano, thyme, and cayenne pepper.
-
Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry and rub them with olive oil. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly on both sides.
-
Cook the Salmon: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little olive oil and sear the salmon for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, and minced garlic. Pour the glaze over the salmon in the last minute of cooking.
-
Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges, and enjoy with your favorite sides.
Notes
- For an extra smoky flavor, grill the salmon over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes per side.
- If baking, cook at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, then broil for 1-2 minutes for a crispy top.
- Substitute soy sauce with Worcestershire sauce for a deeper umami flavor.
- Pair with Texas Roadhouse-style sides like buttered corn, green beans, or a loaded baked potato.
