Ingredients

1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 salmon fillets, skin on about 6 ounces each
lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

Combine the brown sugar, smoked paprika, dried thyme, kosher salt and garlic powder in a small bowl. Whisk until well combined.
Place the salmon fillets skin side down on a cutting board or in a baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil over the salmon fillets and rub the oil over the fish. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets and gently rub onto the fish.
Let the salmon rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, oil a clean grill pan, gas grill or charcoal grill and preheat to medium heat. When the grill is hot, put the salmon on the grill or grill pan, skin side down.
Cook with the grill cover on until fish is almost cooked through, about 6 to 10 minutes with the skin side down. Then flip the salmon over and cook 1 to 2 more minutes, until cooked through to your liking. (The USDA recommends an internal temperature of 145° F for salmon, but some prefer it cooked to 130-135° F.) Serve with lemon wedges.
