In a shallow bowl or dish, combine smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and spread 2 tablespoons of melted butter on the top.

Dip each salmon fillet into the seasoning mixture, pressing down to create a thick, even coat.

Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron skillet over high heat and brush lightly with a little more melted butter.

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.

Carefully flip the salmon fillets and reduce the heat to medium.

In a small dish, mix together 1 tablespoon of melted butter, lemon juice, and chopped parsley for the topping.

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.

Remove the salmon from heat and serve immediately.
