Instructions

Remove salmon fillets from refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature for even cooking.

Preheat oven to 425°F and line large baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Place wire rack on prepared baking sheet to elevate salmon and ensure even heat circulation.

Pat salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels to ensure proper seasoning adherence and browning.

In small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, black pepper, cayenne, salt, smoked paprika, and chili powder.

Mix seasoning blend thoroughly until all spices are evenly distributed and well combined.

Brush each salmon fillet with olive oil on all sides to create base for seasoning adhesion.

Generously coat each fillet with seasoning blend, pressing gently to ensure spices adhere to fish.

Let seasoned salmon rest 5 minutes to allow flavors to penetrate the fish.

In separate bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, dill, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.

Mix herb butter until all ingredients are well incorporated and mixture is smooth and fragrant.

Place seasoned salmon fillets on wire rack, spacing them evenly for proper air circulation.

Bake 12-15 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F and fish flakes easily with fork.

During last 2 minutes of baking, brush tops of fillets with melted butter for extra richness.

Remove from oven and immediately top each fillet with dollop of herb butter while hot.

Let salmon rest 2-3 minutes to allow juices to redistribute and herb butter to melt.

Garnish with fresh lemon slices, chopped chives, and additional fresh herbs before serving hot.
