Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 Filet Salmon (The fresher the better!)
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)
1/8 tsp black pepper ((or to taste))
1/2 tsp white sugar
1 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
1 tsp parsley
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp basil

Steps:

Mix up the rub first by combining black pepper, sugar, salt, crushed red pepper, parsley, lemon zest, and basil.
Cut salmon filet into 4 equal portions.
Pour equal portions of the oil over each cut salmon piece. Using clean hands; rub oil into each piece of salmon. (Do not skip this step; otherwise your salmon will stick to the griddle)
Sprinkle equal portions of the rub over each salmon piece; rub into salmon with clean hands or the back of a spoon.
Place griddle on top of grill. Heat grill (gas or electric) or charcoal to medium heat.
Place salmon on griddle. Keep the lid closed.
Grill about 5 min. per side; perhaps longer if your filet is thicker. Salmon is cooked when it easily flakes. To be sure; use a meat thermometer; cooking to 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Transfer to serving platter and enjoy! Pairs well with grilled asparagus and rice or veggie skewers!

GENE'S SALMON RUB

My friend Gene here in the Puget Sound (who also happens to be my ex) made a wonderfully delicious King salmon recently, and I pried this rub recipe out of him. ;) All the amounts are approximate... he adds necessary amounts by aroma.

Yield 1 2/3 cup, approx

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups brown sugar, to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika, to taste
1 tablespoon regular paprika, to taste
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (1 tsp if not freshly ground)
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon crushed dried thyme, to taste

Steps:

Mix all ingredients together.
Use as a rub on your approx 12-lb prepared salmon half.
Note: Gene rubbed the salmon with the above and baked it with a drizzle of olive oil in one of those handy baking-bags and it was moist and delicious!
Note 2: he mentioned that he used "regular" paprika because he was out of smoked paprika - I would've used sweet Hungarian and smoked Spanish, myself.
