Step 1
Pat the 4 salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with 2 tbsp olive oil.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp paprika. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over both sides of the fillets.
Step 3
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving, until the skin is crisp and releases easily.
Step 5
Flip the fillets and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, reaching an internal temperature of 145°F.
Step 6
Remove from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes before serving. Enjoy hot.
