Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tbsp salt
  • 1/2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder

Instructions

  • In a bowl mix all ingredients together using back of fork or spoon to break up any hard pieces of brown sugar.
  • Place salmon fillet on a cutting board and pour rub on top. Use hands to gently press it on so it doesn't fall off. If you want a more intense flavor cover with plastic wrap and put in fridge for an hour or more before cooking.
  • Lay salmon on baking sheet with foil if making in the oven or on a smoker we use a grate. Allow excess to fall off on to the cutting board.
  • Cook as you wish
