These salmon fillets are rubbed with a Texan-inspired spice mix that is smoky and flavourful. My son practically inhaled his portion!

Directions

Preheat oven to 375F.

Prepare the dry rub by mixing together the spices in a small bowl.

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to remove moisture, then rub on the spice mix, avoiding the skin. Allow to rest 5 min.

While the salmon fillets rest, heat the olive oil in a large oven safe skillet over medium high heat, and add the kosher salt.

Place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skindown over the salt, and allow to sear 5 min.

Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8-10 min, until the top is slightly golden.

Optionally, you can broil the salmon for the last 1-2 min in the oven, keeping an eye that they do not burn.

Serve with your favourite side. These salmon fillets taste amazing with a spanish cauliflower rice (see our Spanish Cauliflower Rice recipe).
