The sweet & spicy dry rub on this fish is amazingly good. Give it a try. I think you'll love it. And, it's easy... I love Pinot Noir or Cotes du Rhone with Salmon. They're not overpowering and both pair well. Try Meiomi, Belle Glos, Longboard, David Bruce or a Pinot of your choice. Cheers...

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 lb wild salmon
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp black pepper, fine ground
1/2 Tbsp cumin, ground
1/2 Tbsp paprika, smoked
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Apply a light coat of EVOO over the Salmon
  • 2. Apply the dry rub to the fish, a light coat will be plenty. I had some left over for another grilling or two.
  • 3. I like to let the fish sit @ room temp for about 45 minutes to one hour before grilling. This is ample time for the dry rub to get into the fish.
  • 4. In regards to the Cedar Plank, I soak it all day in the sink. Keep it totally submerged in water, the longer the better.
  • 5. Preheat the grill to 400 - 450. Place the Salmon on the Cedar Plank and put it on the grill.
  • 6. Cook the Salmon to an internal temp of 130 degrees in the thickest part. This will produce a very moist Salmon. The fish should reach that temp in 25 - 35 minutes based on your grill heat. Don't over cook your fish. Cheers...
