Rub with Love Salmon Rub 1 lb — Tom Douglas smoky‑sweet seasoning with brown sugar & paprika

Rub with Love by Tom Douglas Salmon Rub is a 1 lb all-natural dry seasoning that brings a smoky, slightly sweet Pacific Northwest flavor to salmon and other grilled meats.

Designed from a classic Northwest salmon rub and inspired by Tom Douglas's family kitchen, this 1-pound jar delivers a ready-to-use blend of paprika, thyme, brown sugar and select spices that enhances fresh fish without overpowering it. Made without MSG, the mix also doubles as a versatile meat seasoning for pork, chicken and steaks, and includes Etta’s “Rubbed with Love” salmon recipe to guide first-time users.

How will this rub change my salmon preparation?

Applied before grilling or smoking, the rub forms a savory, slightly caramelized crust that complements delicate salmon flesh and adds smoky-sweet notes. It helps seal in moisture while imparting consistent seasoning over the fillet.

• Creates a caramelized exterior from brown sugar and paprika
• Enhances natural fish flavor without masking it
• Easy to apply dry—works on fillets, steaks, or whole fish
• Includes a recipe for timing and temperature guidance

Can I use this seasoning on meats other than salmon?

Yes — this blend was crafted to be flexible. Its balance of herbs, paprika and brown sugar works equally well on pork cutlets, thick steaks and chicken, giving grilled or roasted proteins a pleasant smoky-sweet finish.

• Great for pork chops and ribs to add depth and bark
• Use on chicken wings or breasts for quick weekday meals
• Try as a finishing sprinkle after searing steaks for added flavor
• Adjust amount for milder or stronger seasoning as preferred

What makes this rub a quality choice for home cooks?

Rub with Love selects fresh herbs and spices and excludes MSG, focusing on natural ingredients for clean flavor. Packaged in a 1 lb container, it provides enough seasoning for frequent cooks and those who like to prep larger batches for gatherings.

• All-natural spice blend without MSG
• Balanced formula of paprika, thyme and brown sugar
• Generous 1-pound size for multiple meals or events
• Comes with Etta’s tested salmon recipe for reliable results

How should I store and apply the rub for best results?

Keep the rub in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve aroma and flavor. For application, pat fish dry, apply a thin, even coat of rub, and let it rest briefly before cooking to allow flavors to adhere and develop.

• Store sealed in pantry or spice cabinet, away from heat
• Pat fillets dry before applying for better crust formation
• Use a light hand for delicate fish; heavier for heartier cuts
• Works for grilling, smoking, broiling or pan-searing

Who is this for? Home cooks who want a reliable Pacific Northwest–style salmon seasoning without artificial additives, as well as grillers who appreciate a smoky-sweet rub that adapts to fish, pork, chicken and beef. It’s also suited to anyone seeking a generous 1 lb supply for family meals, weekend barbecues or meal prep, paired with an easy, included recipe to get consistent, flavorful results.
