Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix together all of the dry spices.
- Spray each piece of salmon with cooking spray and rub the spice rub onto the fish.
- In a pan: Using a saute pan, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the salmon, skin side down, and cook on one side for 4-5 minutes. Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until done to your liking. For medium cooked salmon, turn the heat off when you flip the fish and let it continue to cook in the pan for 2-3 minutes.
- On the grill: Place the salmon on the grill skin side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until it is becoming pink and opaque on the sides. Flip and cook for 2-5 minutes to the level of doneness you prefer. For easier flipping, place the salmon on foil to be sure it won't stick to the grill.

Steps:
- Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and let it stand at room temperature for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients. Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking dish or rimmed baking sheet with a piece of aluminum foil large enough to easily wrap all the way around the salmon and seal it. Lightly coat the foil with nonstick spray. With paper towels, lightly pat the salmon dry. Place the salmon in the center.
- In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, chipotle chile powder, lime zest, and salt. Brush the salmon with the olive oil (or melted butter) and lime juice. Sprinkle with the chipotle seasoning mixture, rubbing if needed to coat the salmon evenly.
- Fold the sides of the aluminum foil up and over the top of the salmon until it is completely enclosed. If your piece of foil is not large enough, place a second piece on top and fold the edges under so that it forms a sealed packet. Leave a little room inside the foil for air to circulate.
- Bake the salmon for 12 to 18 minutes, until the salmon is almost completely cooked through at the thickest part. The cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your salmon. If your side is thinner (around 1 inch thick) check early to ensure your salmon does not overcook. If your piece is very thick (1 1/2 inches or more), it may need longer.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and carefully open the foil so that the top of the fish is completely uncovered (be careful of hot steam). Change the oven setting to broil, then return the fish to the oven and broil for 3 minutes, until the top of the salmon is slightly golden and the fish is cooked through. Watch the salmon closely as it broils to make sure it doesn't overcook. Remove the salmon from the oven. If it still appears a bit underdone, you can wrap the foil back over the top and let it rest for a few minutes. Do not let it sit too long-salmon can progress from not done to overdone very quickly. As soon as it flakes easily with a fork, it's ready. Alternatively, you can check the salmon's temperature with an instant-read thermometer. At 145 degrees F, it is done.
- To serve, cut the salmon into portions. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro or top with an extra squeeze of lime juice as desired.

SWEET AND SPICY GRILLED SALMON
The decadent-tasting "good" fat in salmon complements the sweet-spicy Buffalo glaze. The skin gets caramelized and crisp on the grill as the sauce drips onto it. It's delicious, but can be discarded to save fat and calories. (The numbers below include the skin.) A crisp and refreshing celery slaw is dressed with the same sauce, made creamy with light mayo, and brightened with onions and chives.

Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan on medium high.
- Mix together the hot sauce, brown sugar, paprika and cayenne in a small bowl. Transfer 1 tablespoon of the mixture to a large bowl and whisk in the mayonnaise; set aside the rest of the sauce. Add the chives, celery and onions to the bowl with the mayonnaise and toss well.
- Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper. Brush the grill grate lightly with oil. Lay the salmon on the grill, skin-side up, and cook until distinct grill marks appear and the salmon releases easily from the grate, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and brush the fish with some of the reserved sauce. Continue to cook the fish, brushing the pieces periodically with the sauce, until the salmon fillets are glazed and just cooked through, 13 to 15 minutes more.
- Transfer the fillets to individual plates and serve with the celery slaw.

SMOKY AND SPICY ROASTED SALMON
Inspired by the smoke, spice and sweetness that characterize classic dry barbecue rubs, this super easy salmon recipe skips the grill, making for easy cleanup and a dinner that's doable any night of the week. While a fragrant rub like this one might overpower a milder fish, salmon stands up to strong flavors beautifully. This dish works well with summer picnic sides like coleslaw and potato salad, but it is equally good with roasted potatoes and a simple green salad. The rub is only mildly spicy as written, so add a pinch of cayenne if you'd like a little more kick.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them in an ovenproof baking dish large enough to hold them without crowding.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, salt, mustard powder, paprika, chili powder, pepper and garlic powder; mix well with a fork.
- Sprinkle the spice rub over the fillets, then turn them, pressing gently, to coat all sides with the rub. Brush the fillets all over with the olive oil.
- Roast the salmon for 12 to 14 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until it flakes easily and is just cooked in the center. Let the salmon rest for 5 minutes, then sprinkle lightly with salt and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest salmon fillet you can find. Look for firm, bright-colored flesh that springs back when you press it gently.
- If you don't have a spice grinder, you can use pre-ground spices. Just be sure to measure them carefully, as they can be more potent than whole spices.
- Use a spoon or your hands to rub the spice mixture evenly over the salmon fillet. Be sure to get all sides of the fish.
- If you're using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If you're using a pan, heat it over medium heat.
- Cook the salmon for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the fish.
Conclusion:
This recipe for salmon with sweet and spicy rub is a delicious and easy way to cook salmon. The spice rub gives the fish a wonderful flavor, and the sweet and spicy sauce is the perfect complement. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
