McCormick Tomato Basil Salmon Seasoning Mix
What it is
This is a seasoning blend designed to add flavor to salmon. It combines dried tomatoes and basil with other spices to create a savory and aromatic profile. The mix is intended to simplify the process of preparing salmon, offering a pre-portioned way to enhance its taste without needing to measure individual herbs and spices. It aims to deliver a consistent flavor experience for home cooks.
How people cook with it
This seasoning mix is a convenient way to prepare salmon. It can be used for baking, pan-searing, or grilling the fish.
- Seasoning baked salmon fillets
- Rub for grilled salmon steaks
- Flavoring pan-seared salmon
- Adding taste to salmon patties
To use this seasoning mix, simply sprinkle it evenly over salmon fillets or steaks before cooking. You can apply it directly to the fish, ensuring good coverage on all sides. For best results, lightly moisten the salmon with oil or water before applying the seasoning to help it adhere. The mix can be used as is, or you can adjust the amount to your personal preference. It's designed to complement the natural flavor of salmon, adding a bright, herbaceous, and slightly tangy taste.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh herbs, this dried seasoning blend offers a longer shelf life and consistent flavor. The combination of tomato and basil provides a classic pairing that is often used with seafood, offering a convenient alternative to creating your own herb and spice mixture from scratch.

How to keep the rest
Store any unused seasoning mix in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent moisture from entering. This will help preserve the aromatic qualities of the herbs and spices for future use.
