1
In a shallow bowl or dish, combine smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.
2
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and spread 2 tablespoons of melted butter on the top.
3
Dip each salmon fillet into the seasoning mixture, pressing down to create a thick, even coat.
4
Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron skillet over high heat and brush lightly with a little more melted butter.
5
Place the salmon fillets, flesh and seasoning side down, into the hot skillet. Cook over high heat for 2-3 minutes without moving. The salmon should form a blackened crust.
6
Carefully flip the salmon fillets and reduce the heat to medium.
7
In a small dish, mix together 1 tablespoon of melted butter, lemon juice, and chopped parsley for the topping.
8
Brush the topping on each salmon fillet and continue to cook for 6-8 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Adjust the heat if the bottoms start to get too dark or if the fillets are thicker.
9
Remove the salmon from heat and serve immediately.
