Next, In a small bowl, mix what I call a “magical blend” of brown sugar, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3:

Now, take those gorgeous salmon fillets and rub them lovingly with the spice mixture. Make sure each fillet gets coated generously.

Step 4:

Drizzle a touch of olive oil over the seasoned salmon fillets to add a hint of moisture.

Step 5:

Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill pan and let them sizzle away for 4-5 minutes on each side. Keep an eye on them, as you want the salmon to be perfectly cooked through and flake easily with a fork.

Step 6:

As the salmon nears perfection, it’s time for the sauce, the barbecue sauce. During the last minute of cooking, brush a thin layer of the sweet sauce onto the salmon fillets. You can use as much as you want, I prefer to use just enough for a hint of sweetness without overpowering the other flavors. And Let the sauce caramelize slightly.

Step 7:
