How to Make Chili Lime Grilled Salmon
- Preheat grill to medium heat (approximately 350°F for gas grill, or medium coals for charcoal grill).
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Mix the spice rub thoroughly until well combined.
- Pat 1.5 lbs salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Spread the chili lime rub evenly over both sides of the salmon.
- Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill grates. For gas grills, maintain medium heat. For charcoal grills, position the salmon 4-6 inches from the coals.
- Grill for 15-18 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Do not flip the salmon.
- Remove from grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
- Serve immediately with fresh lime wedges for squeezing over the salmon.
