Instructions

Marinate the Salmon:
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley.
Rub the mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour for more flavor).
Make the Garlic Butter:
In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and lemon zest. Set aside.
Grill or Pan-Sear the Salmon:
Grill: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (400°F). Lightly oil the grates.
Grill salmon for about 4-5 minutes per side, until it flakes easily with a fork.
Pan-Sear: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a little olive oil.
Cook salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.
Serve:
Drizzle the garlic butter over the hot salmon.
Serve with lemon wedges and your favorite sides like rice, mashed potatoes, or veggies.

Notes

:
For extra flavor, brush the salmon with garlic butter while grilling.
Want it spicy? Add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes to the seasoning.
Oven Option: Bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes. Broil for 2 minutes for a crispy top.
