Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces / 170 grams each)
Seasonings and Spices:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Lemon wedges
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Use a paper towel to thoroughly remove moisture from the salmon fillets, ensuring a dry surface for optimal seasoning adhesion.
- Combine all dry spices and brown sugar in a small mixing bowl, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that will enhance the salmon’s natural richness.
- Gently drizzle olive oil across the salmon, then meticulously massage the prepared spice mixture onto both sides of the fillets, coating them evenly and thoroughly.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the seasoned salmon, allowing the citrus to brighten and complement the robust spice profile.
- Preheat the cooking surface to medium-high heat, preparing to create a perfectly seared exterior while maintaining a tender, succulent interior.
- Place the salmon fillets on the heated surface, cooking for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side until the fish develops a golden-brown crust and reaches a flaky, translucent texture.
- Remove the salmon from heat and let it rest for a few minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute and ensuring maximum flavor and moisture retention.
- Plate the salmon and garnish with additional lemon wedges or fresh herbs if desired, creating a visually appealing and delectable dish reminiscent of Texas Roadhouse culinary style.
Notes
- Ensure salmon is completely dry before seasoning to help the spices adhere better and create a perfect crispy exterior.
- Customize the spice blend by adjusting quantities or swapping ingredients based on personal taste preferences or dietary needs.
- For a lighter version, use less oil and opt for a heart-healthy olive oil spray instead of drizzling.
- Marinate the salmon for 15-30 minutes before cooking to intensify the flavor profile and tenderize the fish.
