Sensational seafood rub. We made this exactly as written and enjoyed every mouthful. It is a bit cardamom heavy (in future I may or may not use half the amount), but your recipe title lets people know that it is supposed to be a dominant flavour. This will certainly be a go-to recipe for me when I have salmon steaks. We especially loved the spice mixture and the ease of preparation. Thanks for sharing your creativity.

WOW! A lot more spices than I usually include on my salmon (& we eat a lot of it!), & this is wonderful! Will admit that I cut back just a hair on the cumin & cayenne & was generous with the lemon & garlic, but then, that's just me! This is definitely a nice addition to my growing ways to prepare salmon! [Made & reviewed for the Fish & Seafood~Part 2: Mixing Pot Challenge during ZWT6]

Hi! I am happily married with two children, 26 and 12. For nearly 10 years when this site was Recipezaar and then Food.com I hosted several different forums. I enjoyed making, creating, reviewing, and photographing recipes, but what I miss the most are the friendships I made here. I was Food Editor for the Mill Creek View Newspaper in Mill Creek, WA. for about 4 years during that time. Currently I am the office manager at a small mental health clinic. I'm not on this site much anymore, but I do continue to appreciate and respond to all reviews posted to my recipes.
