Ingredients
4 skinless salmon fillets
2 tsp packed light-brown sugar
3/4 tsp chipotle chili powder
3/4 tsp ground cumin
3/4 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 bell peppers
1 lime
Chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
Soak cedar papers in water for 30 minutes. Preheat grill to 400 degrees over medium heat halfway through soaking papers. Crumble brown sugar into a small mixing bowl. Add chipotle chili powder, cumin, paprika, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper and whisk to combine. Remove cedar papers from water and spray tops with non-stick cooking spray. Brush 1 Tbsp of the olive oil along both sides of salmon fillets. Sprinkle one side of each fillet with spice rub , then rotate and transfer to cedar papers. Sprinkle remaining spice rub over tops of salmon. Toss peppers with remaining olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Layer pepper strips over salmon , wrap cedar paper around salmon and peppers then tie with string provided. Grill 5 - 7 minutes per side, spraying with a water bottle as necessary to moisten papers and prevent flare ups, until salmon is cooked through. Cut strings, serve warm with lemon wedges for spritzing and cilantro.
