Directions

1. Step1

   For the rub, in a small bowl, stir together salt, brown sugar, chile pepper, paprika, granulated sugar, garlic powder, black pepper, mustard, cumin and ginger.

2. Step2

   Lightly brush salmon steaks with olive oil. Using your fingers, apply rub mixture to the salmon steaks, gently pressing mixture into the flesh to help it adhere. Let stand for 15 minutes.

3. Step3

   Preheat charcoal or gas grill for direct cooking to medium-high heat.

4. Step4

   Spray grill rack with grill-safe nonstick spray, or lightly grease grill rack. Grill salmon, covered, 6 to 8 minutes per side until fish begins to flake easily with a fork (145 degrees). Remove salmon from grill. Just before serving, cut lemon into wedges; squeeze over salmon and garnish with dill.

5. Step5

   Cedar Plank Salmon Method: Soak 2 cedar planks in water for according to package directions. Prepare salmon as directed. Heat grill to medium-high heat. Place planks on grill. Cover grill and preheat planks for about 5 minutes, turning once. (Preheating the planks allows them to begin releasing smoke and flavor.) Place salmon steaks on preheated planks. Cut lemon into thin slices; place with dill sprigs on top of salmon. Cover and grill for 18 to 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Remove salmon from cedar plank and transfer to a serving platter.
