Ingredients

Chili Rubbed Salmon

• 1 teaspoon Oil, grapeseed or avocado
• 4 (5 oz.) Salmon filets
• 1 tablespoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt

• 1/4 cup Red bell pepper, small dice
• 1/4 cup Red onion, small dice

Instructions

1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl combine seasoning, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Season salmon liberally on both sides.
3. Once the grill is preheated (~400-450 degrees), lightly grease the grill grates with oil. Then, place seasoned salmon and sear on one side for 4-6 minutes then flip and repeat.
