I had the privilege of officiating at the wedding of Mary Michalski and Dick Strossner (as in the Bakery!). At their reception they had the BEST salmon I had ever eaten. Mary was kind enough to email me the recipe. There's no "amounts"...just add it to taste. I used about a teaspoon of all of them except chili powder and paprika, and a little more than a teaspoon of basil. I find the best Salmon at Sam's Wholesale or Cosco. You can even find it in frozen bags. 1 lb of King Salmon Fillet serves 2 - 3 people. Two 6 lb fillets for a party will serve around 25- 30 people. Mary was a cook for me at Camp Buckhorn for a couple of summers...a dear, dear friend. If you go by Strossner's Bakery please tell her I said hello!
King Salmon Fillet
Make a rub using brown sugar, salt, paprika, garlic powder, chilli powder, freshly ground black pepper, sweet basil.
Spray a baking dish with Pam or lightly grease with olive oil. Lay Salmon SKIN side down and pack the rub over the entire top fo the fillet. Let sit in the 'fridge for 30 minutes.
Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees. Take off foil the last 4 minutes if you like the rub to crunch up a little. (12 lbs took around 45 minutes, 2 lbs around 15 minutes) Best to use a thermometer.
