Salmon Seasoning Recipe – Fit Foodie Finds

Our Homemade Salmon Seasoning is the perfect combination of smoky and sweet. It uses 7 basic spices and no weird fillers or additives.

Keep a batch of this homemade salmon rub on hand to make pan-fried salmon, pan-fried salmon, or salmon rice bowls for parties.

This really is the best seasoning for salmon and our favorite in the Fit Foodie kitchen! It uses a short list of very simple spices that taste great, but don’t overpower the amazing flavor of the salmon itself.

We love using this salmon seasoning for any cooking method, but especially when grilling smoked salmon or air frying it because it helps create almost a crust on the outside.
