Salmon is my family’s favourite fish and is a staple in my refrigerator to make in stews, salads, fish cakes and curries. It’s delicious, versatile, easy to prepare and good for you too! Salmon is considered a “superfood” and is very low in saturated fat and a great source of protein. One of the best sources of vitamin B12. Also bursting in potassium and other nutrients like iron and vitamin D. This dry rub I’m sharing with you brings out the rich buttery flavour of this very popular fish.

Salmon is my family’s favourite fish and is a staple in my refrigerator to make in stews, salads, fish cakes and curries. It’s delicious, versatile, easy to prepare and good for you too!

Lightly score the flesh side of the salmon with the tip of a sharp knife- no more than 1/8 of an inch deep. This light scoring allows the spice rub to penetrate into the salmon and stay in place better during cooking.
Combine the spice rub ingredients and sprinkle liberally over the salmon fillet about 30 minutes before cooking.
Drizzle the top of the seasoned salmon with the olive oil and grill or roast salmon on the spiced side first for about 4 minutes before turning over to the skin side and letting that crisp up for another 4-6 minutes.
Recipe Note
If you want to store the dry rub in a jar (for up to 6 months) just multiply the recipe (without the olive oil and salmon). Please don't forget to leave a comment or rating to let me know what you thought of the recipe. Enjoy!
