How to Make Sweet And Spicy Dry Rub On Ribs Or Salmon

  1. In a bowl, combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  2. Generously rub half (1 cup) of the dry rub mixture onto 4 pounds of pork ribs or 4 salmon fillets.
  3. Wrap the ribs or salmon tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil. Refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
  4. **Optional:** For faster cooking, bake the wrapped ribs or salmon in a 200°F oven for 4-5 hours.
  5. **Grilling:** Preheat your grill to medium heat (approximately 350-400°F).
  6. Unwrap the ribs or salmon and place them on the preheated grill.
  7. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side for ribs, or 3-4 minutes per side for salmon, adjusting cooking time based on thickness and desired doneness. If chilled from the refrigerator, allow a little extra grilling time.
  8. Serve immediately with extra sauce (optional, see recipe #66477) on the side.
