Notes
- Store leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Gently reheat cooked salmon in a skillet over low heat with a touch of olive oil to prevent it from drying out.
- Serve this flavorful salmon with a side of roasted vegetables and a dollop of creamy dill sauce for a complete meal.
- For an extra smoky flavor, try using smoked paprika in the rub!
