This Dry rub for salmon recipe is delightful. You can also prepare it in two easy ways, either sauté in a pan or bake in the oven. The combination of the sweetness from the sugar and cinnamon to the tanginess of the chili powder, cumin and paprika makes this a delicious alternative for serving salmon filets!
You can either bake or pan fry the salmon. For the first method, pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the first 7 ingredients.
Rub each filet with olive oil and then with the yellow mustard*. Place on a foil lined baking sheet. Liberally sprinkle the rub on both sides of the salmon. Bake for 20 minutes until the fish flakes with a fork. For the second method, pan fry in a little oil over medium high heat for 2 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-low and turn the salmon over. Sauté for 6-8 minutes until flaky. Serves 2 and it’s that easy!
*I didn’t have dry mustard on hand, so I used prepared yellow mustard.
