For more ideas, we also have compiled a guide…
….that will help you choose the best seasoning for salmon.
Next way to season salmon is…
Seasoning Rubs
Make sure the salmon is completely coated in your seasoning…
…of choice by making a spice rub. As the mixture is never too heavy…
…it does not slow down the baking process and it allows for some robust flavors.
After rubbing the seasoning into the salmon fillets…
…place them in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes at 400 degrees. It’s so easy!
Just combine your desired spices with a dash of olive oil for moisture in a small bowl…
…and mix until it becomes a consistent blend. Let your salmon rest…
…at room temperature for a few minutes after you rub it with the spices.
Make sure even the thickest part of the fish is coated with the seasoning rub…
It should end up looking like a thoroughly soaked salmon….
…with its pinkish meat covered in all the spices.
Here’s a simple way to ensure you get the boldest flavors….
Below you’ll find a few ideas!
