<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4> Remove the salmon fillets from the refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature. Pat each fillet completely dry with kitchen paper - this is crucial for achieving a beautiful golden crust. Check for any remaining pin bones and remove them with tweezers if needed.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4> In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix thoroughly until all the spices are evenly distributed - this is your signature Texas Roadhouse seasoning blend.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4> Drizzle 30ml of olive oil over the salmon fillets and rub it in gently with your hands, ensuring each fillet is completely coated. Generously sprinkle the spice mixture over both sides of each fillet, pressing it gently into the flesh so it adheres well. Let the seasoned salmon rest for 10 minutes to allow the flavours to penetrate.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4> Heat a large, heavy-bottomed frying pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 30ml of olive oil and let it heat until it shimmers but doesn't smoke - this should take about 2 minutes.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4> Carefully place the salmon fillets in the hot pan, making sure not to overcrowd them. You should hear a satisfying sizzle when they hit the oil. Cook without moving them for 4-5 minutes, allowing a beautiful golden crust to form on the bottom. Resist the urge to peek or flip too early.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4> Gently flip the salmon fillets using a thin spatula, being careful not to break the crust. Cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness, or until the internal temperature reaches 60°C when checked with a meat thermometer. The flesh should be opaque and flake easily when pressed gently with a fork.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4> Remove the pan from heat and immediately add the butter to the pan. As it melts and foams, tilt the pan slightly and baste the salmon with the foaming butter using a spoon for about 30 seconds. This adds incredible richness and helps create that restaurant-quality finish.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 8</h4> Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon fillets and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Transfer to serving plates immediately, drizzling any remaining pan juices over the top. Serve with your favourite sides like roasted vegetables or rice pilaf for a complete Texas Roadhouse experience.</li></ol>
