As seasoned professionals in the seasoning blend game (if we do say so ourselves), we’ve learned a thing or two about what separates a good spice mix from a truly great spice mix. Number one on that list: a balanced blend of flavors that complements, rather than overpowers, whatever it’s being added to. That’s certainly what makes our Salmon Rub Seasoning Blend so great. Made with a base of brown sugar, and supported with seasonings like smoked paprika, dried thyme, kosher salt and black pepper, this Rub synergizes spectacularly well with a salmon fillet, while still allowing salmon’s naturally mild flavor and buttery texture to take center stage. With just a quick brush of olive oil and generous sprinkling of Trader Joe’s Salmon Rub on a fresh fillet, you’re ready to grill, bake, or air fry one seriously delicious piece of salmon. As it cooks, the Rub forms a sweet, savory, herby, and delicately smoky crust that also adds a nice pop of texture to every bite. And while we had salmon in mind while developing this Seasoning Blend, we definitely ought to mention that it pairs beautifully with practically any other protein. We recommend giving it a go on roast pork loin, pan-seared steak, grilled shrimp, stir-fried tempeh, or even your everyday roasted veggies.
