BBQ salmon fillet with lemon & dill
Ready in 40 minutes
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
