In a small bowl combine the brown sugar, smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne, garlic powder, basil, thyme, salt and pepper. Rub the salmon with 1 tablespoon of melted LouAna Coconut Oil and then cover with the blackened seasoning rub. Place the salmon in fridge.
In a small bowl or glass jar whisk together the balsamic vinegar, 1/4 cup melted coconut oil, honey, lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a large bowl add the arugula, peaches, zucchini and basil. Toss well and set aside.
Preheat your grill to high heat.
Remove the salmon from the fridge and grill (or broil, whatever you prefer) for 3 to 4 minutes, flip and cook another 2 to 3 minutes.
To serve plate the salad and top each salad with a piece of salmon. Sprinkle with blue cheese (or Feta) and drizzle with the dressing.
