GRILLED SALMON WITH SPICY RUB



Grilled Salmon with Spicy Rub image

The rub has a spicy-sweet flavor that goes perfectly with the salmon. The rub recipe makes more than you'll need so save it to use on other fish or other grillables. The salmon can be cooked directly on the grill or on a cedar plank.

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

Salmon Rub
3 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon light or dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons celery seed
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground fennel seed
Salmon
2 1/2 pounds skin-on salmon fillets
mayonnaise
1 lime

Steps:

  • Combine all the rub ingredients until thoroughly mixed. You can store any leftover rub in an airtight container. Meanwhile, heat the grill to medium heat. Sprinkle several tablespoons of the rub evenly over the skinless side of the salmon fillets and gently rub it into the fish flesh. Spread a very thin layer of mayonnaise over the rub on the salmon. Place the fish on an oiled grill rack, skin side down. Close the grill cover and cook until the fish flakes easily. Cooking time will vary by the thickness of the fillets but expect them to take 15-20 minutes. Do not overcook the fish and do not turn it while cooking. Before serving, squeeze fresh lime juice over the fillets.

Provided by Ina Garten Bio & Top Recipes

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
1 tablespoon (canned) chopped chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup jarred roasted red peppers, seeded and chopped
1 cup good mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless, center-cut salmon fillets
Good olive oil
1 lime, quartered, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • For the aioli, chop the garlic and chipotle pepper together on a cutting board to make a coarse paste. Place the paste in a food processor, add the lime juice and roasted red peppers, and purée. Add the mayonnaise, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and process until smooth. Set aside.
  • For the salmon, place a large (12-inch), dry cast-iron skillet over high heat for 5 minutes. Place the salmon fillets on a board, pat dry with paper towels, and rub all over with olive oil. With the fillets rounded side up, sprinkle them with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  • Place the salmon in the skillet rounded side down and cook over medium-high heat for exactly 2 minutes without moving! Using a large metal spatula, turn the fillets rounded side up and place the skillet in the oven. Roast for 3 to 4 minutes, until the centers are rare. Cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil and allow the salmon to rest for 3 to 4 minutes for medium-rare or 5 minutes for medium. Serve the salmon hot with the aioli and a wedge of lime for squeezing.

PAN-SEARED RIB EYE STEAK WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA RUB



Pan-Seared Rib Eye Steak With Smoked Paprika Rub image

I picked up a kosher ribeye steak at Trader Joe's last week and pan-seared it using the technique that's become my hands-down favorite: Alton Brown's pan searing method. It turned out so perfectly-- tender and pink on the inside with a brown, spice-laden crust on the outside. The simple smoked paprika spice rub gave it a sweet, barbecued flavor. This is such an easy way to cook up a smoky, juicy ribeye steak without firing up the grill.

Provided by Whats Cooking

Categories     Steak

Time 10m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 boneless rib-eye steak (1 1/2-inch thick)
1 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (if using kosher meat) or 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (if you're using non-kosher meat)
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Bring the steak to room temperature.
  • Mix all spices and oil into a thick paste. Rub spice rub mixture onto both sides of the steak.
  • Optional: If you have the time, wrap the steak with plastic wrap and allow to sit for 15 minutes or longer at room temperature.
  • Put a 10 to 12-inch cast iron skillet in the oven, and heat oven to 500 degrees. When the oven thermometer indicates that it has reached 500 degrees, remove the pan from the oven (do not turn oven off). Transfer quickly to a stovetop burner on high heat.
  • Immediately place the steak in the middle of the pan. Cook for 30 seconds without moving. Flip with tongs and cook for 30 seconds on the second side. Quickly remove the pan from the heat and place into the oven. Cook for two minutes on each side for a medium rare steak, or three minutes on each side for a medium steak.
  • Transfer steak to a wooden cutting board and make a loose tent of aluminum foil over it. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving.
