4 servings
For the salmon
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin-on, pin bones removed
- 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp neutral oil (such as avocado or canola oil)
Chef's tipAvocado oil is neutral and handles high heat, making it a good all-purpose swap.

- ½ red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and finely minced
- ¼ cup red onion, finely diced
