Mike S. What you do with the rest of the rub? The other fillets! The recipe calls for 6 salmon fillets, so 1/2 tbs per fillet. I so wish people would pay attention when reading recipes before making comments.
This is a great go to recipe during the work week, pairs perfectly with salmon. Spicy does not mean hot friends.
Kids loved it too and completely cleaned their plates. Really great way to open minds to eating fish.
there’s nothing in here that is spicy. Chili powder is not spicy
Awesome! Been doing this way for years. Eat wild salmon several times a week. Skip the brown sugar if you want and add touch of cinnamon with the chili powder! I cook in hot carbon steel with evoo, skin side down few minutes, flip for few other then back to skin side down. Not more than 6/7 minutes total. Throw salmon on spring mix, little avocado, etc…I like mine best cold next morning. So good for us in every way!
Simply delicious recipe,!!
This recipe is screaming with delicious sweet spicy flavor! So perfect for salmon! I used honey instead of brown sugar (no sugar on hand) so it made a paste which I spread over each filet. All other ingredients the same. So good!
Our family loved this dish!
This was super yummy. The light brown sugar gives it the perfect sweet touch and the spice rub was really unique and flavorful.
This is a delicious recipe, especially if you are not fond or excited about fish. I prepare it all the time, and cannot wait to eat it whenever do.
