Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels. Removing extra moisture helps the fish cook evenly and creates a beautiful golden crust during cooking.

Combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, parsley, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir everything together until the seasoning is evenly mixed.

Mix melted butter, olive oil, honey, and fresh lemon juice. Stir until smooth. This mixture keeps the salmon moist while adding rich flavor.

Brush each salmon fillet with the butter mixture. Sprinkle the seasoning blend over both sides. Press gently so the spices stick to the fish.

Place a large skillet over medium heat. Allow it to become hot before adding the salmon. A hot pan helps create a lightly crisp outside.

Place the salmon skin-side down if using skin-on fillets. Cook for about seven minutes without moving the fish. This keeps the fillet from breaking apart.

Carefully flip each fillet using a fish spatula. Cook another five to seven minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches the desired doneness.

Transfer the salmon to serving plates. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices. Serve immediately while hot with your favorite side dishes for the best flavor.
