Spiced Grilled Salmon

Spiced Grilled Salmon Recipe

Seasoning salmon with a spice rub is an easy way to pump up the flavor. This recipe is adapted from The Sustainable Kitchen: Passionate Cooking Inspired by Farms, Forests and Oceans by Stu Stein, Mary Hinds and Judith Dern.

Ingredients
Spice rub:
2 tablespoons smoked paprika or Hungarian paprika
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets

Instructions
1. Preheat the grill.
2. To prepare the spice rub, combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
3. Rub spice mixture over top of salmon. Place salmon skin side down on plank. Place plank on grill. Cook, covered, until salmon flakes with a fork, about 10 minutes. Serve with Cucumber Mango Relish. Serves 4.

Tips from the Test Kitchen
For plain grilled salmon, rub the salmon with olive oil, sprinkle with kosher salt, and grill. To add the flavor of cedar, use a cedar grilling plank, available at most kitchenware stores. Soak the plank 1 hour in water before using, then place the salmon on the plank skin side down and grill.
