Salmon Seasoning
Description
The seasoning mix combines brown sugar and paprika varieties with aromatic spices such as garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, black pepper, kosher salt, and Italian seasoning. The brown sugar adds subtle sweetness that caramelizes during cooking, while the smoked paprika contributes a smoky depth without overwhelming heat. Italian seasoning introduces herbal complexity to the blend, rounding out the flavors.
This rub can be applied to salmon before cooking, enhancing the natural flavors with a mix of sweet, smoky, salty, and herbal notes. It can also be adapted for use on various proteins like swordfish, halibut, shrimp, chicken, and pork tenderloin, as well as on roasted vegetables or potatoes, making it a versatile seasoning option.
Use about 2 tablespoons of the rub per pound of salmon for an evenly seasoned result. Store the mixture in a cool, dry place in an airtight container for freshness, and it will keep well up to four months.
