BBQ Rub Salmon

Ingredients
¼ cup brown sugar
½ cup paprika
3 tablespoons black pepper
4 tablespoons coarse salt
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons celery seed
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 pounds Salmon Fillets, boned and skinned

Method

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir(your fingers work best!). Store in an airtight jar and keep away from heat. Makes about 1-1/3 cups.

Lay salmon on a flat surface. Sprinkle rub on all sides of salmon. Rub in with your fingers. Let sit for 30 minutes before you cook. Preheat your grill or you may use a cast iron skillet. If you're using a skillet, pour about 1 tablespoon oil per salmon fillet that you cook. Cook salmon for about 3 minutes on each side, mopping with the mop sauce frequently(see recipe). Take off the grill and serve with your favorite beans.
Fresh sliced avocado also compliments this recipe!
