This Spice Rubbed Salmon is super easy to prepare and healthy too! cookingwithcurls.com

The sun is shining (insert Happy Dance)!!! The snow is almost completely melted…I have a patio again, and mud…lots of mud! But the sun is shining and I don’t care 🙂 Our High temperature today will be in the 50’s for the first time in, like…..forever! I am already eyeing the barbecue grill out on the patio, just waiting to be able to fire it up and grill a big old juicy steak. But for now, I will broil my Spice Rubbed Salmon in the oven…..

I love salmon, and I am always on the look out for new ways to prepare it! A couple of weeks ago I found a recipe Marcie @ flavorthemoments had posted and it sounded awesome. It also kinda looked similar to a seasoning that I had used before on barbecue chicken, so I combined the two and created my version of spice rubbed salmon. It is super easy to make, and has a sweet and spicy flavor that everyone in the family will enjoy. I even kept the sides really simple, steamed broccoli and baked sweet potatoes…..YUM!

How to make Spice Rubbed Salmon:

Mix spices together in a small bowl, set aside. Turn on oven broiler.

Sprinkle spice mixture over salmon and gently rub into flesh.

Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over the salmon.

Place under broiler for 5 to 6 minutes until caramelized and golden brown. KEEP an eye on it, it will burn quickly if you are not careful!

Remove from oven and serve…..

Perfection!

Delicious side dish recipes:

Instant Pot Sweet Potatoes – Whole30 & Paleo

Mashed Sweet Potatoes – Whole30 & Paleo

Sauteed Zucchini and Carrots – Whole30 & Paleo

Instant Pot Loaded Mashed Potatoes – sorry, not Whole30 or Paleo

Shredded Carrots with Bacon – Whole30 & Paleo

Even though I omitted the brown sugar to keep the recipe Whole 30, it is still delicious! I have not tried this recipe with honey. It may be best to brush the honey over the salmon, then sprinkle with the seasoning. 😉

Enjoy!!

    For reasons I won’t go into, I have a freezer full of beautiful salmon. I’m always looking for a new way to cook it, so I’ve written this down and will give it a try. Looks yummy – I think I won’t need the olive oil since the fish is so moist. Happy SITS day!
