For a richer flavor, try using smoked paprika in place of the cayenne pepper. Leftover seasoning mix can be used as a rub for other meats or vegetables. Ensure salmon fillets are of similar thickness for even cooking.

May 31, 2025I found the seasoning a bit too spicy for my taste, so I reduced the cayenne pepper and it was perfect for me. Easy to adjust to personal preferences!
