• In a small bowl, mix the first 10 ingredients. Rub fillets with seasoning mixture; drizzle with oil., Place salmon on a lightly oiled rack, skin side up. Grill, covered, over high heat or broil 3-4 in. from heat 5 minutes. Turn; grill 4-6 minutes longer or until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork.

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Combine all seeds in a skillet over medium heat; toast, shaking pan, until aromatic, 4 to 6 minutes. Grind seeds coarsely in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle. Transfer to a bowl; add salt, pepper, and sugar.
• Rub spice mixture into flesh side of salmon. Let stand 30 minutes; if not grilling right away, refrigerate, wrapped in plastic, for up to 2 days. Let salmon come to room temperature before grilling.
• Heat grill to hot; coals should be glowing red, and rack should be very hot. Brush both sides of salmon and hot rack with oil. Grill salmon (if using a gas grill, close lid while cooking), flesh side down, until firm and slightly charred, 4 to 8 minutes. Carefully turn salmon using 2 large spatulas. Cook 4 to 6 minutes more, or until mostly opaque but slightly translucent and cooked through. Serve with cucumber salsa.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Using a sharp knife, slash the salmon skin to form cross-hatch marks. Stir the spices together in a small bowl, and then rub over the flesh side of the salmon.
• Heat the oil in a medium oven proof non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon, skin-side up, and cook until seared and golden, about 3 minutes. Turn the salmon and cook until the skin sizzles and fries, about 1 minute. Transfer the skillet to the oven and continue cooking until the salmon is firm to the touch, about 4 minutes.
• Transfer the fillets to 4 plates. Serve with the sauteed greens, if desired.

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.

Steps:

• Combine olive oil and sesame oil together.
• Brush both sides of salmon with oil mixture.
• In a small bowl combine all of the seasonings.
• Rub over salmon fillet, covering both sides, pressing seasonings down into flesh.
• Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Coat grill rack with nonstick cooking spray before starting the grill.
• Grill salmon fillet uncovered, over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Steps:

• Combine all the spices in a small bowl. Squeeze lime juice over salmon then rub in the spices to completely coat; set aside to rest about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and sauté 2 minutes; add beans, corn and salt and cook until heated through, about 6 - 8 minutes. Remove from heat and toss in cilantro and lime juice. Makes 3 1/2 cups.
• Heat a clean outdoor grill (make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled) or if cooking indoors a lightly oiled grill pan over high heat. When hot, grill the salmon for about 5 minutes on each side or until the fish is opaque throughout. Serve with black beans, corn and lime wedges.

Steps:

• Pre-heat charcoal grill (I prefer using a Traeger grill).
• In a small bowl, mix chili powder, cumin, brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons black pepper. Rub spice mixture on salmon.
• Brush cabbage wedges with olive oil.
• Place cabbage wedges and salmon directly on grill, after spraying with cooking oil.
• Grill salmon 4-6 minutes on each side for each 1/2 inch of thickness, turning halfway through cooking time. Turn cabbage at the same time.
• While salmon and cabbage are grilling, peel carrot and slice into thin strips.
• Remove salmon and cabbage when done cooking. Coarsely cut cabbage and toss with carrots and 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil.
• Salt and pepper cabbage mixture to taste and serve.

Steps:

• Fire up the grill.
• To make the spice rub, combine the brown sugar, paprika, salt, pepper, and thyme in a small bowl.
• Rub both sides of the salmon fillets with all of the spice mixture.
• Brush the grill and fish with oil.
• Grill over direct heat, covered, with the vents open.
• When the salmon is marked by the grill, flip the fish and finish cooking.
• It will require a total grilling time of around 10 minutes, depending on the heat of the grill.
• The sugar in the spice rub can burn easily, so watch it closely.
• A step ahead: The spice rub can be made a couple days ahead and stored, tightly covered, at room temperature.
