Salmon and Rub

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cajun Rub

    In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Salmon

    Pat the salmon filets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil.

  3. 3

    Apply the Rub

    Evenly sprinkle the brown sugar and Cajun rub mixture over both sides of the salmon filets.

  4. 4

    Grill the Salmon

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the salmon filets on the grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the grilled salmon with your choice of two sides.
