I liked it, but it doesn't keep well. I oftentimes cook and my husband eats later when he gets home from work. It was very overpowering after re-heating when my husband got home. It was very good when fresh tho.

I think the rub is okay, but it makes WAAAAAYYY too much for just 1 lb of fish. I want to try it again with half all the ingredients and definitely less cumin & chili.

I disagree with the others. I love fish and I usually make salmon plain, with just salt and pepper and I loved it. Sweet and yummy. Keeper!

I guess I enjoy the taste of salmon too much, the rub was over powering and I honestly wasn't fond of the combonation of flavors. It kinda had a cross between a taste of curry and a taste of chili rubbed over fish.

This recipe is probably great for people who don't like salmon. The different flavors compete with each other and overpower the taste of the fish. Since we like salmon, I will not be making this again.

My husband and I didn't like this! It is a weird combination of ingrediants and flavors. It overpowered the salmon. I won't make it again. There are much better salmon recipees out there.

This is the best salmon recipe ever. Even my husband who doesn't care for fish that much loves it. It is very easy and quick to fix. I keep salmon in my freezer and whip this up for a healthy meal after a long day at work.

This is a terrific dry rub for fish. It is great to leave on the shelf for the next fish dinner. The brown sugar with the cummin is a great twist.

Excellent dry rub recipe. I made it without the lemon peel since I did not have it on hand and it still turned out fabulous.

Sweet and spicy combination.
