In a small bowl combine honey and 1 tablespoon olive oil and lightly brush onto each salmon fillet.
In another small bowl mix together brown sugar, chili powder, pepper and cumin to make a dry rub. Using your hands rub the dry rub mixture onto the top each salmon fillet.
Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat (cast iron works best). Add remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to skillet. When it is hot add salmon rib side down and immediately reduce the heat to medium-low.
Pan-sear salmon for 7 minutes, flip and fry for an additional 2 minutes or until center reads 145F. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the salmon. Remove from heat.

While salmon is cooking, in a medium size pan add chicken broth and Adobo seasoning. Bring to a boil and add rice. Return to a boil, cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 5-8 minutes until all liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
