Ingredients

Scale

BBQ Spice-Rubbed Salmon

  • 1kg whole salmon fillet, skin on
  • Oil for cooking

Spice Rub

  • 1 Tbsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 2 tsp crushed fennel seeds
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 2 tsp sumac
  • 2 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  1. Combine all spice rub ingredients. Place salmon in a tray and rub evenly with the spice mix.
  2. Option 1: For a more intense flavour, cover the tray with cling film (making sure the film does not touch the salmon) and marinate overnight. Option 2: To save time, rub the salmon with the spice and let it marinate for 30 minutes before cooking.
  3. Prepare coal bbq. Coal should not be glowing red but white and covered with grey ash (read post above for further details).
  4. Brush oil on the grill plate and on the salmon skin. This will stop it from sticking.
  5. Place salmon skin side down on coal and close BBQ lid. The salmon will cook very quickly, approx 10 minutes.  Do not turn the salmon at any point. Once taken off the heat the flesh will continue to cook for a few more minutes. For this reason always slightly undercook the fillet before removing it from the grill.
  6. Serve with Charred Green Feta Sauce
