Chipotle Cocoa Rubbed Salmon
Chipotle cocoa-rubbed salmon is seasoned with a bold blend of smoky chipotle peppers and rich cocoa powder, creating a spicy, slightly sweet crust. This flavorful dish delivers a unique and delicious twist on classic salmon.
Ingredients
- 1 heaping teaspoon miss brown’s house seasoning, recipe follows
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder

- flaky sea salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
