Remove the skin from the salmon by briefly placing it skin-side down in a hot pan for about 10 seconds, then tear the skin away gently.

Slice the salmon into 2 to 3-inch thick pieces.

Wash the salmon in water and add freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Pat the salmon dry and massage olive oil into it.

Add a blend of spices (not specified) over the salmon and massage it in, flipping the salmon to coat both sides.

Cover the salmon and let it marinate for about 2 hours or overnight if possible.

Heat a cast iron skillet and add about 2 teaspoons of olive oil, waiting for it to heat up.

Add the salmon slices to the skillet, ensuring they are added to a hot pan to create a searing sound.

Add rosemary pieces between the salmon slices in the oil for flavor.

Cook the salmon for about 5 to 6 minutes, then carefully flip them over to cook the other side.

Shake the pan to distribute the flavor in the oil while cooking on low heat.

Make the sauce by squeezing the juice of one large lemon into a bowl, adding 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon of paprika, then stir to combine.

Remove the salmon from the skillet and take out the rosemary stems, leaving the oil in the pan.

Add the sauce to the skillet, bring it to a boil, then reduce to medium-low heat to thicken, stirring frequently.

Return the salmon slices to the skillet, brushing the sauce over them gently to avoid breaking them apart.

Add fresh lemon slices on top of the salmon and brush them with the sauce.

Place another piece of rosemary on top for garnish.

Plate the salmon and drizzle with sauce before serving.
