1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Check the salmon fillets for any bones and remove them.
2. In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, and chili powder. Coat the salmon with half of the olive oil, then sprinkle the spice mixture on the flesh side, pressing gently to adhere.

4. Carefully flip the salmon and transfer the skillet to the oven. Cook for 5-8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Remove from the oven and brush with any remaining oil.
5. Serve the salmon immediately and enjoy!
