Equipment
- Measuring Spoons
- Small glass jar with lid
Ingredients
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Brown sugar (light or dark)
- ¼ teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- ⅛ teaspoon Dried oregano
Instructions
- Add all dry rub ingredients to a small jar. Put on the lid and shake very well until all ingredients are well combined.
Notes
- Brush skin-on salmon fillets: with a mild olive oil, then evenly sprinkle the rub onto the flesh side.
- Pre-heat the grill: on high to at least 400 F.
- Set the salmon fillets: directly over the flame skin-side down. Close the top and leave the flames on high until the salmon skin is blackened and crispy (about 5 minutes).
- Turn off the heat: from directly under the salmon and turn the remaining burners to medium. Cook with the top closed until the salmon registers 130 F. in the thickest part (10 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon).
- Leave the salmon: skin-side down the entire time and do not flip over.
