If applicable, remove the skin from your salmon. Cube the fillets into large bite-sized pieces. Pat them very dry with paper towels to ensure proper browning. In a bowl, toss the salmon cubes with olive oil, then coat them evenly with paprika, garlic powder, seasoning salt, Italian seasoning, and black pepper.

Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned salmon cubes to the skillet. Cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and sizzling. Reduce the heat to medium-low, then add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Gently sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is fragrant.

Still using the same pan, deglaze with white cooking wine, scraping up any browned bits (garlicky goodness) stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Add the minced shallot and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until softened.
