How to Make Spicy Rub For Grilled Salmon
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean the grates thoroughly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, paprika, salt, black pepper, and thyme until well combined.
- Generously rub the spice mixture onto both sides of the salmon fillets, ensuring even coverage.
- Lightly brush the salmon fillets and grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Maintain grill lid open slightly to vent.
- Watch the salmon closely, as the brown sugar can burn easily. Adjust grilling time based on your grill’s heat. The total grilling time will be approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! This rub can also be made a couple of days ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
