SALMON WITH SWEET AND SPICY RUB

Steps:

• Coat your grill or a grill pan with cooking spray and preheat over medium heat. While the grill is heating, combine the brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Brush each salmon fillet with 1/2 teaspoon of the oil, then rub each fillet with about 1/2 tablespoon of the spice mixture.
• Grill the salmon, flesh side down, until charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the salmon and cook another 5 to 6 minutes for medium doneness. For well done fish, cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a platter and serve immediately.

SALMON WITH BRAZILIAN RUB

Steps:

• In a shallow dish large enough to hold the salmon, combine the juices, salt and pepper.
• Add the salmon, turning to coat with the marinade.
• Let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes, turning the fillets once.
• Preheat the oven to 425F.
• Line a shallow baking pan with aluminum foil and grease with a little of the melted butter.
• In a small dish, combine the orange zest, brown sugar, chili powder and minced garlic.
• Rub the marinated salmon with the brown sugar mixture.
• Place in the pan and drizzle with the remaining melted butter.
• Bake for 8 to 12 minutes.
• The big challenge here is not overcooking the fillets- 8 minutes will do for thin fillets (less than 1 inch) and no more than 12 minutes for the thicker fillets.
