First grill fresh asparagus and keep warm.
Then cut in half 2.2 lb wild sockeye salmon from Costco.
Apply olive oil and kosher salt to both sides of fish.
Then sprinkle flesh with brown sugar, paprika, pepper, garlic powder, and pat into flesh.
Finally apply a very light dusting of chipotle powder, and squeeze of lemon juice.
Cook over red oak at about 425 F, flesh side down for 2-3 min.
Turn salmon over, raise grate to 325 F, lay lemon slices over flesh, cook another 7-10 min to IT=135.

Looks good. If you wet brine for an hour it not only helps with moisture and flavor, but prevents albumin from seeping out.
