Directions

  1. Combine ingredients for salsa and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes but it will keep for 2-3 days.
  2. Brush salmon with olive oil and squeeze lemon juice over. Sprinkle dry rub evenly on fish.
  3. Preheat the oven to broil and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  4. Place fish skin side down on a broiler pan that has been oiled to avoid sticking.
