In a small bowl, add paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, dried, salt and pepper. Mix all together well.
Brush ½ tablespoon of olive oil on top of salmon fillets.
Sprinkle the spice mix on the flesh side of the salmon only. Using your fingers, tap the spicy mix on top of the salmon (on the flesh side).
In a non-stick skillet or cast iron skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Wait 2 minutes and then add the salmon fillets and cook for about 3-5 minutes. Time will depend on the thickness of the salmon fillets. Reduce the heat to medium-low and flip the salmon fillets over and cook for more 3-4 minutes.
Before serve, garnish with parsley. Serve it with steamed broccoli, mashed cauliflower or roasted veggies. Enjoy!
