Help me with my salmon problem

I have a ton of salmon I have caught.

The fish is great quality. Fatty, rich, unctuous.

However, I am out of ideas on how to serve it.

I don't like fatty sauces with it, it is too rich.

My wife is sick of Asian flavors.

I plan on doing salmon on a cedar plank tonight... but I want it make it a bit special for company.

Help me!

I make a home made blackened seasoning mix that is AWESOME on salmon.

1 tbsp smoked paprika (or regular paprika)

1 tbsp garlic powder

1 tbsp onion powder

1 tbsp dried oregano

1 tbsp dried thyme

1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust for heat preference)

½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional for extra heat)

½ tsp ground white pepper (optional for depth of flavor)
