Equipment

  • Large Skillet

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs salmon filet
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard or mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Instructions

  • Combine garlic powder, onion powder, parsley flakes, coriander, cayenne pepper, ground mustard, salt and paprika in a bowl, mix together well to form a dry rub and set aside.
  • Then squeeze 1/2 lime juice over the flesh side of the filet.
  • Next, add the mixed dry rub liberally over the flesh side of the filet making sure that it is evenly covered.
  • Once the flesh side is covered with seasoning squeeze the remaining lime juice over the fish and rub into the seasoning creating a sort of paste with dry rub.
  • Next cut the fish into 7 or 8 pieces.
  • Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes. May even wrap with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Preheat your oven to broil or 500°F.
  • Then heat up 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven safe skillet on medium heat.
  • When the oil is hot add the fish flesh side down to the pan.
  • Sear for 4 minutes or until the salmon flesh is golden brown.
  • Place pan on the top rack at the highest notch (as long as pan fits and is not toughing the heating mechanism in the oven).
  • Broil for 8 minutes. Then remove from the oven.
  • Let rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure that salmon has been scaled (most salmon filets come with scales), then wash salmon with cool water and dry with a paper towel
If marinating overnight remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow the fish to come up to room temperature for even cooking
