Rub
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine all rub ingredients and spread over both sides of the salmon. You may have leftover rub.
2. Line a broiler pan or baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray; place the salmon fillets on the pan. Roast the salmon for about 10 minutes. Turn the oven to broil. Broil for 2 minutes to give the salmon a golden color. Serve with a side of the salsa.
Tropical salsa
Combine all ingredients in a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
