Salmon with Sweet & Spicy Rub (CEimB)
Posted by Aggies Kitchen on April 10th, 2009. Filed under: Craving Ellie in my Belly, Ellie Krieger, Main Dishes - Pasta, Main Dishes - Seafood.
This week’s Craving Ellie in my Belly recipe is Salmon with Sweet & Spicy Rub and was chosen by Pam from Lobster and Fishsticks. Once I read over the ingredient list for this recipe I knew immediately I was going to love it. I’m a huge fan of sweet and spicy flavors…though I wouldn’t consider the flavor in this dish spicy. It has great chili flavor but there wasn’t any heat so don’t let the term “spicy” mislead you.
I made this salmon for my husband and mother in law and they both loved it. Instead of grilling it I put it under the broiler. I served it with whole wheat linguine tossed with olive oil, garlic and spring vegetables. I was craving pasta and as always veggies so although it may sound like a weird combination with the salmon, it really all went together nicely.
I am going to leave you with both recipes now…because I’m headed out to the beach today for a much needed break with my hubby! Enjoy your weekend and Happy Easter!
Salmon with Sweet and Spicy Rub
Recipe from Ellie Krieger, The Food You Crave or Food Network
cooking spray
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skin and any pin bones removed
1 tablespoon olive oil
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.
(look at that piece of fish!)Linguine with Spring Vegetables
Recipe from Aggie’s Kitchen
