Ingredients

salmon 2 whole fillets, skin on
dill a large handful, roughly chopped
chives roughly chopped to make 2 tbsp
lemons 2, thinly sliced
olive oil

Method

Step 1

Lay one side of salmon skin side down and cover with the roughly chopped herbs. Top with a layer of lemon slices and season well.
Step 2

Put the other piece of salmon on top, skin side up. Tie the salmon pieces together securely – you can use raffia or string for this, just make sure it’s wet to stop it burning. Brush the salmon all over with olive oil and wrap in a double layer of tin foil.
Step 3

Cook the salmon on a wire rack on the cooler part of the bbq for about 7 minutes on each side then remove the salmon from the foil and put back on the rack. Cook for a further 3-5 minutes on each side until the skin is charred and the fish cooked all the way through. Lift off carefully.
