Chili Fennel Salmon Rub

CHILI FENNEL SALMON RUB
Transform your seafood into a flavor experience with Chili Fennel Salmon Rub, an artfully balanced blend from David Cunningham of Cinders & Salt. This exquisite mix enhances delicate salmon with a harmonious blend of mild heat, aromatic spice, and bright coastal flair.

Perfect Pairings:

• Salmon & White Fish: Ideal for grilled, baked, or pan-seared salmon—and also works beautifully on halibut, sea bass, and swordfish.

• Shellfish & Poultry: Swipe it over shrimp or scallops before broiling, or sprinkle on chicken breasts for an easy twist.

• Veggies & Tofu: Stir into olive oil and toss with asparagus, sweet potatoes, or firm tofu for a savory side or main.

Flavor Notes:
Crunchy sea salt and mellow white pepper lay a clean foundation. Ground cumin and garlic bring earthy warmth, while lightly roasted fennel seeds add a delicate licorice note. A pop of Korean chili finishes it off with gentle heat—bright, balanced, and beautifully complex.

Pro Tip:
For best results, lightly oil your salmon, then press the rub firmly into the flesh at least 15 minutes before cooking. Try finishing with a squeeze of fresh citrus or a dab of compound butter to elevate the taste even more.

Ingredients:
Sea salt, white pepper, ground cumin, fennel seed, granulated garlic, Korean chili.
