Salty Sugared Salmon

Ingredients
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
6 tablespoons raw or coarse sugar
4 tablespoons kosher salt

Comments
This recipe is from the blog My Man’s Belly.  Salmon is probably my favorite fish and it’s also one that I know I can always find at the store which is convenient when I’m meal planning.  Lance and I both found this to be a bit too salty, but otherwise it was very nice.  Next time, I’d reduce the salt to 2 tablespoons from the 4 here.  The skin also stuck to the baking sheet, so perhaps pan searing this might have worked better?  This is a fairly simple dish, just be sure to remember the refrigeration time when planning your evening!
