Salmon with East-West Spice Rub and Orange-Soy Glaze

Salmon-licious! This was the hit of Christmas dinner! Not that everything else wasn’t fabulous, but the salmon was rubbed and grilled to perfection thanks to Brett and Kelly.

My sister-in-law, Kelly, asked if I had a salmon recipe and I remembered this crowd pleaser from several years back. Even if you have a few people that think they don’t care for salmon “because it is too fishy”, this could change their minds about salmon forever!

The spice rub gives a little warmth and the glaze a little sweetness to create an amazing flavor that will surprise even your most adamant fish loathers. Kelly loved it so much that she posted the recipe on the board at work to share with friends and the recipe disappeared…..just like your salmon will!
