Cajun Spice Rub
This Cajun Spice Rub is one of my go-to seasonings for both chicken and fish.

Cajun Spice Rub

March 3, 2018 By //  by Terry Leave a Comment

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.

Cajun Spice Rub
Instructions
  1. Mix all ingredients together. Using a container with a lid makes it easy to shake ingredients to obtain a well-blended rub.
  2. 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.

About the Author

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.
