Friends gave us a jar of this as part of a "Taste of the Northwest" gift basket while we were visiting Seattle last year. We eventually tried it, and fell in love with the taste, texture and ease of preparation. You coat the salmon in a bit of the rub, and saute it in a little olive oil. The resulting crust adds a mildly spicy, sweet flavor and a very slight crust to the salmon that my wife and I like better than any other way we've tried salmon. Highly recommended, and we'll be ordering more as we're almost out.

I'm an avid cook and experimenter with commercial and homemade spice mixes. I came across this spice rub in a gourmet food shop in Los Gatos, CA. Hands down, the most flavorful and versatile spice 'rub' out there.

Generously coating your fish with this mix adds a light crust and a slightly zingy, sweet flavor. Additionally, the large amount of smoked paprika in the mix gives the food a wonderful red color.

If you have guests that like a little more heat in their food without overpowering your fish, add a couple pinches of fine - not coarse! - ground pepper to the mix. Your taste buds will thank you!

Interestingly enough, this mix also works well on catfish, chilean sea bass, and orange roughy. Of the Rub with Love mixes, this and their companion mix: Chef Tom Douglas Rub With Love Chicken Rub are by far the best.

This stuff is great. No question. Be careful of the size you order (3.5 ounces does not go very far for $10).

This rub on Steel Head was great. Indirect heat on a 22" Weber with a small amount of Charcoal and two chunks of Mesquite(Soaked in Water) created a great meal. Costco did not have any fresh wild Salmon but their farmed Steel Head is much better than the farmed Salmon. Costco no longer sells this rub. I glad to know Amazon carries this product. For salmon, this rub is better than my homemade rub. My rub is too strong for fish. I will save my rub for tri-tip, baby back ribs, and chicken. Never use lighter fluid or the charcoal with the fluid in it unless you like to ruin your food! The Chimney starters are cheap and need about two sheets of newspaper.

I bought this from a local grocery store a few years ago because they were out of my usual seafood rub. After trying this, I will never use anything else to season salmon fillets! The best way to prepare this seasoning is to add about half a tablespoon of olive oil to a large piece of fresh salmon, rub about a tablespoon of this seasoning all over one side, then grill skin-side down until cooked to your desired level. It's the perfect level of sweet and smoky!

I keep buying this rub as it is super easy to use and makes salmon taste delicious. I haven't tried other rubs as I've been so happy with this one.

Easy to prepare delicious meal. Salmon is a healthy food and this rub tranforms it to an easily prepared delectable meal. Win Win.

This rub is excellent on salmon. I was bored with my usual seasoning (pretty uncreative - salt, pepper, garlic powder) and decided to try this rub. It's so tasty and makes the salmon juicy and tender. Don't over cook the salmon and watch out for burning the rub (it contains sugar which can burn at high heats).

I'm definately purchasing this product again!

"Rub with Love Salmon Rub" is great on salmon if you keep the temperature fairly low. I wouldn't go over medium heat with this rub because it will burn. This rub has brown sugar in it which must help to create a delicious crust on the salmon but it doesn't like high heat. I've had this spice for what seems like years. Recently while trying out the steak rub I remembered I had this spice rub somewhere in the kitchen cupboard. There it was a little lumpy but still very edible. I just mashed up everything with a spoon and the spice rub was good to go. So it is not only great tasting, it lasts a long time. I will say that now that I'm back to eating a lot of salmon on a diet that requires you to eat 5-7 ounces of protein a night I probably will be using this salmon rub quite a bit more often. Give it a try, but you may also want to add a little Fleur de Sel or sea salt.

We purchased a single tub of this rub, then a three pack, and then a 16-oz. mega container. We make grilled salmon frequently for guests, and everyone loves the sweet/spicy/smokey flavoring of the Salmon Rub. We end up giving them a little ziplock bag of the rub to take home. It's so simple....brush the salmon with olive oil and then sprinkle generously with the rub (both sides). Grill about 3 minutes, flip, and grill another 3-4 minutes. Delicious!
