It offers a shortcut to achieving a well-seasoned and flavorful salmon dish without needing to mix individual spices.
How people cook with it
This seasoning is perfect for adding a quick and tasty flavor to salmon fillets. It works well for various cooking methods.
- Baked salmon

To use, simply sprinkle the seasoning generously over your salmon fillets before cooking. For baking, apply it to the top of the fish and cook in the oven until done. When grilling, coat the salmon and place it on the grill, turning once. For pan-searing, season the fillets and cook in a hot skillet with a little oil. The heat will help the seasonings adhere and create a flavorful crust. You can also mix it into ground salmon for homemade salmon patties.
