Two of my favorite things in life are coffee and chocolate, so when I played around with this recipe it was clear that I would be using this one time and time again. The rub could really go on a variety of meats, but I personally have only used it on salmon. The chocolate and the coffee also are great flavors for the Fall season, so its a good one to save for any Fall dinner party.
What you'll need:
-1 tbsp of coffee grounds, finely ground (typically we have this left over in our coffee grinder, so its easy to use)
-1 tsp of chipotle powder
-1 tbsp of cocoa powder (unsweetened)
-1 tsp orange zest
-1/2 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp salt
-1/2 tsp paprika
Mix all ingredients in a bowl with a blender or just a fork and set aside.
Rub salmon filet(s) with olive oil and follow with the rub, be sure to cover the entire top of the salmon. Sear in a pan for 5 minutes per side or even set on the grill.
Serving ideas: We've paired this with a raw veggie salad and cilantro vinaigrette or even just roasted veggies (pictured here).
I can't stop bragging about this rub, it's so yummy and so simple. Enjoy!
