The star of this delightful 30-minute recipe is the rub. A simple combination of herbs, spices and a hint of sugar turn ordinary salmon into spectacular, giving each bite a new depth of flavor. The coating of rub keeps the inside of the salmon moist and tender while the fish is being grilled. Served with simple wilted spinach, this dish is an easy lunch or dinner, any day of the week. Add some steamed rice for a heartier plate. The rub stores well in an airtight container and works as well with chicken and beef. Swap the side for grilled asparagus or steamed carrots. Use the rub on shrimp then skewer and grill for a great salad topping.
