How To use salmon seasoning
To make the seasoning, all you have to do is collect the spices and herbs, and mix them well to combine. To use the seasoning, pat the salmon dry with some paper towels, then sprinkle the seasoning all over the salmon from all sides and cook using your preferred method. You can grill salmon, roast/bake salmon, air fry salmon, or pan fry the salmon.
Tip!
Store your homemade Salmon seasoning in a sealed jar in a dry and dark place for up to 6-12 months. The flavors will be best when the seasoning is freshest, but this also depends on how fresh your spices and herbs are when you make it.
