This Cajun Spice Rub is one of my all-purpose seasonings. I’ve used it on both salmon and chicken and it works well in both cases. For the salmon, I like to drizzle lemon juice on the fish before adding the spice. For chicken, I use lime juice. In both cases, I’ll also supplement the rub with a bit of freshly cracked pepper.

Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together. Using a container with a lid makes it easy to shake ingredients to obtain a well-blended rub.
- Store in an air-tight container. (If you have a spice jar with a shaker lid, this becomes easy to use.)
Recipe Notes
We follow a low-sodium diet, so we've cut the amount of salt from the original recipe in half. Also, if you'd like to kick up the heat a bit, just add 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes.
