Broiled Salmon with Spice Pomade

This recipe comes from foodnetwork.com, it is an Alton Brown recipe. It does have several spices. Some are things I don't keep on hand so had to purchase. The only one I couldn't find at any of the stores close to me was star anise pods. I searched online for a substitution. I used 1/2 tsp anise seeds instead. I also didn't use salmon, I used white fish. Corey said it was very good.
