Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon red pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 (7 -8 ounce) skinless boneless salmon steaks (about 1 1/2 inches thick)
Red Hot Sesame Onion Dressing
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped green onion (scallions)
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons dark sesame oil
4 teaspoons black sesame seeds or 4 teaspoons white sesame seeds

Preparation

Mix red pepper, black pepper, salt, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder and sugar. Coat salmon fillets with the spice mixture; set aside.
To make the Red Hot Sesame Onion Dressing: In the bowl of a food processor, place brown sugar, green, red and yellow onions, vinegar, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes and black pepper. Process 3 to 4 minutes. With the motor running, slowly add sesame oil.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare grill or grill pan. Over high heat grill salmon just long enough (about 5 minutes) to leave grill marks on one side. Transfer salmon (grill side up) to an ovenproof pan. Pour 1 1/2 cups onion dressing over salmon and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in oven 25 to 30 minutes or until onion dressing bubbles and thickens.
