Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add all the ingredients – brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, kosher salt, dried thyme, and garlic powder – into a small bowl or jar. Mix thoroughly until all the spices are evenly combined to create a uniform rub.

Notes

  • The rub is best applied to salmon just before cooking for optimal flavor.
  • You can adjust the amounts of paprika or black pepper to make the rub more or less spicy according to your taste.
  • Use this rub not only for salmon but also for other types of fish and seafood for a delicious smoky and sweet flavor.
  • For an extra smoky flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
  • Store in an airtight container to preserve freshness and prevent clumping.
