  • Ingredients
  • RUB
  • 2 2 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 1 1/2 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 2 2 teaspoons salt, coarse grind preferred
  • 1 1/2 1 1/2 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 3/4 3/4 3/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 3/4 3/4 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 1/4 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/8 1/8 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • SALMON
  • 4 4 4 5-ounce salmon fillets, rinsed and patted dry (or 4 5-ounce pounded chicken breasts)

Preparation

Step 1

For the rub, in a small bowl, combine all the ingredients, and stir to mix well. Note that you will have ample rub left over for future use.

2. Heat the grill to medium-high. Coat one side of each salmon fillet with 1 teaspoon rub (coat the side without skin if fillets are not skinless).

3. Place the salmon on the hot grill, rub-side down, and cook each side for 5 minutes (for 1-inch fillets), or until fish flakes apart easily. Serve salmon with the rub-side up.

DARE TO COMPARE: Farm-raised salmon is richer and milder in flavor than wild-caught salmon. A 4-ounce portion can have as much as 4 grams of fat and almost 40 calories. I averaged the 2 for my analysis.
