Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
Brush the melted butter evenly over the salmon fillets.
Combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, dried oregano, and dried thyme in a bowl.
Sprinkle this mixture generously over the salmon fillets.
Gently pat the spices onto the salmon to ensure they stick.
Ensure even coating for that delicious, consistent flavor.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat without adding oil.
Place the seasoned salmon fillets skin-side down.
Cook each side for about 4 minutes or until the salmon turns crispy and blackened.
Adjust the heat to prevent burning, if necessary.
