Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 tablespoon cumin
1/2 tablespoon paprika

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Salmon: Select a fresh, high-quality salmon fillet with vibrant color and firm texture. Ensure it's boneless and skinless for easy preparation.
  • Dry the Salmon Thoroughly: Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels before applying the rub. This helps the rub adhere better and creates a crispier crust.
  • Apply the Rub Generously: Don't be shy with the cumin rub. Coat the salmon fillet evenly, pressing it gently to ensure it sticks. This will impart maximum flavor.
  • Rest the Salmon: After applying the rub, let the salmon rest for at least 15 minutes at room temperature. This allows the flavors to penetrate the fish and enhances the overall taste.
  • Cook the Salmon to Perfection: Depending on your cooking method, ensure you cook the salmon to the desired doneness. For a tender and juicy center, aim for an internal temperature of 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare or 135°F (57°C) for medium.
