Ingredients

1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon brown sugar
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 (6 ounce) salmon fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ tablespoons minced onion

Directions

Combine black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, onion powder, and salt in a small bowl. Stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil to make a paste.
Spread paste over salmon fillets; set aside to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Stir in onion; cook until tender and golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Pour caramelized onions and olive oil over salmon fillets to serve.
