For an extra layer of complexity, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the caramelized onions during the last minute of cooking. If you prefer a milder spice level, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper to a pinch or omit it entirely. Ensure the skillet is sufficiently hot before adding the salmon to achieve a beautiful sear and prevent sticking.
