Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Smoked paprika | Use regular paprika for a milder flavor
- 1 tbsp Garlic powder | Fresh minced garlic works too but may burn easier
- 1 tbsp Onion powder | Adds depth without the texture of fresh onion
- 1 tsp Ground black pepper | Freshly ground is best for maximum flavor
- 1 tsp Sea salt | Adjust according to your sodium preferences
- 1 tsp Dried thyme | Dried herbs work better in rubs than fresh
- 1 tsp Dried oregano | Mediterranean flavor that pairs beautifully with salmon
- ½ tsp Ground cumin | Adds earthy notes without overpowering
- ¼ tsp Cayenne pepper | Adjust for your heat preference
Instructions
Combine all ingredients
- in a small bowl and mix thoroughly until well blended.
Prepare your salmon fillets
- by patting them dry with paper towels. This ensures the rub adheres properly.
Apply the rub generously
- to all sides of the salmon, pressing gently to adhere.
Let the salmon rest
- with the rub for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor penetration.
Cook according to your preferred method
- grill, bake, pan-sear, or air fry until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
