Brazilian Rub for Salmon

0 mins Serves 4

A simple yet flavorful rub combining brown sugar, chili powder, and garlic that creates a sweet and spicy glaze for salmon filets.

Ingredients

Scale: 1x
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 large clove garlic, mashed
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Combine brown sugar, chili powder, mashed garlic, and melted butter in a small bowl.
  2. Mix ingredients together to form a paste.
  3. Apply the paste evenly to salmon filets before cooking.
  4. Cook salmon as desired - grilled, baked, or pan-seared.

Tips

This rub works best when applied to the salmon about 15 minutes before cooking. The brown sugar will caramelize during cooking, creating a delicious glaze. For an extra flavor boost, add a squeeze of lime juice to the finished salmon.
