Grilled Pastrami-Style Salmon

The classic seasonings associated with beef pastrami taste fantastic on this grilled salmon. Allspice is a fairly strong spice, so if you're sensitive to its "burn," use the lesser amount. Purchase a whole center-cut salmon fillet so that it will cook more evenly than a cut that contains the thinner tail end.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: about 4 1/2 ounces)

Ingredients

• 1  tablespoon  dark brown sugar
• 1  teaspoon  kosher salt
• 1  teaspoon  garlic powder
• 1  teaspoon  ground ginger
• 1  teaspoon  ground coriander
• 1  teaspoon  coarsely ground black pepper
• 1/4  to 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1  (1 1/2-pound) center-cut salmon fillet
• 1/2  teaspoon  olive oil
• Cooking spray

Preparation

Prepare grill.

Combine first 7 ingredients. Place salmon fillet, skin side down, on a cutting board or work surface; brush evenly with olive oil. Sprinkle spice mixture evenly over salmon; gently rub mixture into fish. Cover lightly with plastic wrap, and chill 15 minutes.

Place fish, skin side down, on a grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
