- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions:
Combine brown sugar, lemon zest, chili powder, cumin, sesame seeds, sea salt and pepper in a small bowl.
Divide mixture evenly and pat on both sides of salmon fillets.
