Growing up, my mom couldn’t get me to touch seafood with a ten foot pole. Not even fish sticks! The first time I can recall eating fish and enjoying it was my freshman year of college. It was a moist filet of halibut with a crispy exterior coated in olive oil.
Since then I have played around a lot with fish, a side effect of marrying a sushi chef, and have found a handful of ways I enjoy it. I can’t help but want to share this simple cooking method of seared dry rub salmon since it is the trick that truly kept my mouth happy when consuming an animal from the sea! It’s quick, and it’s tasty!
We like to serve this with a simple side of vegetables or even on a bed of lettuce with corn avocado and a 50/50 concoction of bbq sauce and ranch.
