Famous Salmon Rub- Best Dry Rub for Fish

I must have probably said this a million times before but let me just say it again, I like to experiment with recipes.

I have had few disasters along the way, but I have had great successes as well. Its not that I don’t like to follow recipes, but when I look at a recipe, there are always ingredients I would rather not use, or ingredients that I can think of that will suit a lot better than the current one it calls for.

Fish is one of the favorite meals in our house. So, I take great pleasure whipping up fish recipes whenever it is on the menu. I create recipes from scratch AND also google for them until I find the right recipe which I know for sure my family would love.

I was very excited to test out the Salmon rub my friend Anita from west coast sent to me for review. Fish is always a hit in our house and I was happy to try this exotic sounding marinade on my fish. After all, it says ” Tastes as Good As it Looks” on the package, right?

Besides, I couldn’t wait to find out what ingredient I might add to make this dry rub more yummy.

Well, surprise! I decided not to change a thing because all the ingredients sounded just perfect! And let me tell you, that was a first! For starters, it contained brown sugar and chili flakes- a killing combination for grilling meat and fish. The mix also contained a variety of original spices which I found intriguing. I wanted to see how much tastier it could really get!

Anyway, long story short- I did not use Salmon as I had tons of basa fillets in the freezer.

After thawing them out, I coated my fillets with the rub and let it sit for about 4 hours (don’t really need to sit that long though) before gently pan frying it. That’s it! You can also barbecue them or cook them in the oven- your choice.

Detailed instructions are on the package, hard to miss. And as you can see, this rub will work pretty much on any kind of fish, preferably steak type.
