How to Make Barbecue Glazed Salmon

  1. Preheat your oven's broiler and position the rack 4 inches from the element.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup chili sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.
  3. Pat 1.5 lbs salmon fillets dry with paper towels and rub them generously with your favorite spice rub (about 1 tablespoon).
  4. Coat a large oven-safe, nonstick skillet with olive oil cooking spray and place it over medium-high heat.
  5. Once the skillet is hot, add the salmon fillets.
  6. Cook for 3 minutes undisturbed, then flip the fillets and cook for 1 minute more.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat and brush the salmon fillets generously with the chili mixture.
  8. Place the skillet under the preheated broiler and broil for 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is glazed, shiny, and opaque in the thickest parts.
