Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: Firm-fleshed fish like salmon, halibut, and tuna work best for this rub. You can also use tilapia or cod, but they may be more delicate.
  • Make sure the fish is dry: Pat the fish dry with paper towels before applying the rub. This will help the rub adhere to the fish and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Use a generous amount of rub: Don't be afraid to use a lot of rub. The fish will absorb it and it will help to create a flavorful crust.
  • Let the fish marinate: If you have time, let the fish marinate in the rub for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to penetrate the fish and make it even more delicious.
  • Cook the fish over high heat: This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the fish while keeping the inside moist and flaky.
  • Serve the fish immediately: Southwest fish rub is best served immediately after cooking. This will ensure that the fish is hot and crispy on the outside and moist and flaky on the inside.

Conclusion:

Southwest fish rub is a great way to add flavor to your favorite fish dishes. It's easy to make and can be used on a variety of fish. The rub is made with a blend of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. These spices give the fish a smoky, savory flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook fish, give southwest fish rub a try.
