Grilled Spice Rubbed Salmon Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all seeds in a skillet over medium heat; toast, shaking pan, until aromatic, 4 to 6 minutes. Grind seeds coarsely in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle. Transfer to a bowl; add salt, pepper, and sugar.
• Rub spice mixture into flesh side of salmon. Let stand 30 minutes; if not grilling right away, refrigerate, wrapped in plastic, for up to 2 days. Let salmon come to room temperature before grilling.
• Heat grill to hot; coals should be glowing red, and rack should be very hot. Brush both sides of salmon and hot rack with oil. Grill salmon (if using a gas grill, close lid while cooking), flesh side down, until firm and slightly charred, 4 to 8 minutes. Carefully turn salmon using 2 large spatulas. Cook 4 to 6 minutes more, or until mostly opaque but slightly translucent and cooked through. Serve with cucumber salsa.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the first 10 ingredients. Rub fillets with seasoning mixture; drizzle with oil., Place salmon on a lightly oiled rack, skin side up. Grill, covered, over high heat or broil 3-4 in. from heat 5 minutes. Turn; grill 4-6 minutes longer or until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork.

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.

• Brush cabbage wedges with olive oil.
• Place cabbage wedges and salmon directly on grill, after spraying with cooking oil.
• Grill salmon 4-6 minutes on each side for each 1/2 inch of thickness, turning halfway through cooking time. Turn cabbage at the same time.
• While salmon and cabbage are grilling, peel carrot and slice into thin strips.
• Remove salmon and cabbage when done cooking. Coarsely cut cabbage and toss with carrots and 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil.

• To make the spice rub, combine the brown sugar, paprika, salt, pepper, and thyme in a small bowl.
• Rub both sides of the salmon fillets with all of the spice mixture.
• Brush the grill and fish with oil.
• Grill over direct heat, covered, with the vents open.
• When the salmon is marked by the grill, flip the fish and finish cooking.
• It will require a total grilling time of around 10 minutes, depending on the heat of the grill.
• The sugar in the spice rub can burn easily, so watch it closely.
• A step ahead: The spice rub can be made a couple days ahead and stored, tightly covered, at room temperature.

Steps:

• Combine all the spices in a small bowl. Squeeze lime juice over salmon then rub in the spices to completely coat; set aside to rest about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and sauté 2 minutes; add beans, corn and salt and cook until heated through, about 6 - 8 minutes. Remove from heat and toss in cilantro and lime juice. Makes 3 1/2 cups.
• Heat a clean outdoor grill (make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled) or if cooking indoors a lightly oiled grill pan over high heat. When hot, grill the salmon for about 5 minutes on each side or until the fish is opaque throughout. Serve with black beans, corn and lime wedges.
