Prepare the Seasoning Blend
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine all the dried ingredients: dill, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, sea salt, lemon zest, and cayenne pepper (if using). This blend will enhance the natural flavors of the salmon.
  2. Use a whisk or fork to thoroughly mix the ingredients until they are well combined. This ensures that each bite of salmon will have a consistent flavor.
  3. Taste the seasoning mix and adjust the salt or cayenne pepper according to your preference. Remember, the seasoning should complement the salmon without overpowering it.
  4. Transfer the seasoning blend to an airtight container for storage. This blend can be kept in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
