Should I brine my salmon?

I'm cooking salmon for my mom's Birthday tomorrow.  I am using the DP Recipe that uses the raging river rub, maple syrup, and butter.   I have two of the 2lb farm raised skinless Costco filets (they had sold out of wild caught) .  I've seen some discussion on here about an overnight brine or a few hour brine.  I've done this recipe several times with great success.  I've never brined anything.  I see @The Cen-Tex Smoker doing a brine for pork chops.  Should I brine?  Opinions?  Thanks!
