BBQ salmon fillet with lemon and dill
- Preparation and cooking time
- Total time
- A little effort
- Serves 10
Ingredients
- 2 whole fillets salmon, skin on
- a large handful dill, roughly chopped
- roughly chopped to make 2 tbsp chives
- 2 lemons, 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.
