Sweet and Spicy Orange Salmon

It's been a while since I enjoyed a nice piece of salmon.  Since I was short on time, I needed a flavor packed meal that didn't require any marinade time.  When I don't have time to marinate, I usually use strong flavored spices to create the flavor.  For this meal, I opted for an orange zest rub that had delicious flavor!
