My friend Gene here in the Puget Sound (who also happens to be my ex) made a wonderfully delicious King salmon recently, and I pried this rub recipe out of him. 😉 All the amounts are approximate… he adds necessary amounts by aroma.
Ingredients: [‘brown sugar’, ‘sweet hungarian paprika’, ‘paprika’, ‘sea salt’, ‘fresh ground black pepper’, ‘white pepper’, ‘dried thyme’]
Quantity of Ingredients: [“1 1/4 cups brown sugar, to taste “,”1 1/2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika, to taste “,”1 tablespoon regular paprika, to taste “,”1 teaspoon sea salt”,”1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (1 tsp if not freshly ground)”,”1 teaspoon white pepper”,”1 tablespoon crushed dried thyme, to taste “]
Number of Servings: 1
Steps: [‘Mix all ingredients together.’, ‘Use as a rub on your approx 12-lb prepared salmon half.’, ‘Note: Gene rubbed the salmon with the above and baked it with a drizzle of olive oil in one of those handy baking-bags and it was moist and delicious!’, ‘Note 2: he mentioned that he used “regular” paprika because he was out of smoked paprika – I would’ve used sweet Hungarian and smoked Spanish, myself.’]
