Cajun dry rub for fish

[susan]

Now that lent is upon us, I was looking for a great rub to put on fish. Also, could I use salmon with a cajun rub as I really don't care for catfish.

I've bought salmon with a cajun rub and it's a delicious combination.

We make lots of "blackened" salmon and halibut up here with cajun spices. yum on ceasar salad.
