Secrets to this all-purpose rub

Smoked paprika imparts a deep, smoky, and slightly sweet flavor to dishes. This distinctive taste can enhance the overall profile of a variety of recipes, giving them a unique and appealing character. In addition to its flavor, smoked paprika is known for its vibrant red color. Adding it to dishes can enhance the visual appeal of the food, making it more appetizing.

Brown sugar adds a subtle sweetness to the rub, which can balance and complement the savory and smoky flavors of other spices. The sweetness helps create a well-rounded flavor profile, enhancing the overall taste of the salmon.

Mustard powder acts as a binder in a rub, helping other spices and herbs adhere to the seafood. This can result in a more even distribution of flavors and a well-seasoned crust when the seafood is cooked.

How long does salmon dry rub last?

The dry rub can be stored for up to 6 months in an airtight jar at room temperature. Keep it in a cool, dry place or where you keep your other spices.
