Instructions

• Measure and add to a medium bowl: 2 teaspoons brown sugar, 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/2 teaspoon table salt, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme.
• Whisk the mixture until evenly combined and free of clumps.
• To season salmon: pat fillets dry with paper towels. Sprinkle the seasoning over the salmon using 1 tablespoon of seasoning for every 8 ounces of salmon, then lightly press the seasoning onto the surface so it adheres.
• Cook the seasoned salmon as desired (grill, bake, pan-sear, etc.).
• Store any remaining seasoning in an airtight jar, label with the date, and keep in a cool, dry place for up to 6–12 months.
