Chili Maple Salmon

This salmon can either be roasted in the oven or grilled, and if you keep a batch of the rub on hand in an old spice jar, it makes for a very quick, very delicious weeknight meal any time of year. We make this frequently (husband can even make it himself!) and I love how the smoky cumin and ancho chili powder contrast with the sweet maple syrup glaze that gets added half-way through cooking. It's one of our favorites. Serve with any array of sides, such as sautéed spinach and roasted cauliflower, or on a bed of greens with avocado, corn and a lime vinaigrette for a healthy Southwestern Salmon Salad.
