Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 T Paprika regular or smoked
  • 1 T garlic powder
  • 1 T onion powder
  • 1 - 2 tsp salt to taste
  • 3/4 - 1 T cayenne pepper adjust for heat
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Combine all ingredients - mix well
  2. Dry the fish - Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with a paper towel so the seasoning sticks.
  3. Coat with oil or butter - brush both sides of the salmon with melted butter or high-smoke-oil like avocado oil.
  4. Apply the rub - generously press the spice blend into the flesh (and skin if desired) for a thick, flavorful crust
  5. Bake in cast iron skillet.
  6. Enjoy!

Notes

Pairs well with rice and a veggie - sliced avocado adds flavor, too.
