Okay. This isn't necessarily a "make ahead" meal but it is an easy way to prepare a nice dish.
marinate for salmon for 1 hour in 1/4 cup pineapple juice and 1 tablespoons fresh lemon juice. (If you over marinate fish it will become mushy and fall apart)
I do this part on the grill but you can do it in an oven. Remove the salmon from the marinade and discard the marinade. If you are preparing in the oven, spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
Mix together: 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 4 teaspoons of chili powder, 2 teaspoons of grated lemon rind, 3/4 teaspoon of ground cumin and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. (I know this sounds like an odd combination, but it is tastey!)
Place the salmon in your grilling basket or on the grill, or in your baking dish. Top with with the brown sugar mixture, rubbing it into the salmon. Bake @ 400 for about 12 minutes or until the fish flakes easily and is done. Test it in the thickest part of the salmon.
I serve this with roasted red potatoes and asparagus.
