Salmon Spice Mix
This simple salmon spice mix combines brown sugar, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne, garlic, and lemon zest to create a quick, flavorful rub. Just press it onto your fillets and bake or air-fry for a smoky, slightly sweet crust that brings out the rich taste of the fish, and you can make the mix ahead to have it ready anytime.
