Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Evenly brush both sides with olive oil.

Sprinkle spice rub over both sides of the fillets, pressing gently so seasonings adhere.
05 -
Place seasoned salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable.
06 -
Bake in preheated oven for 14 to 18 minutes, or until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Adjust time for thicker fillets as needed.

Remove from oven. Immediately brush each fillet with melted butter and squeeze lemon juice over the top.

Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired and serve with remaining lemon wedges.

Leftover salmon can be flaked and used in salads or wraps.
