We just love salmon on the barbecue, and this marinated salmon recipe is super tasty. Hand around this canape version to impress your guests during those summer barbecues.
Alternatively, for a main, use a whole side of salmon (cooking time will need to be longer) and make a big bowl of the slaw to add to the table.
Ingredients:
- Thumb-sized ginger, peeled and finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely diced
- 5 Tbsp golden soy sauce
- 3 tsp sesame oil
- 200g salmon fillet, deboned with skin on
- 1/8 cabbage, shredded
- 2 green apples, julienned
- 3 spring onions, finely sliced
- 2 Tbsp capers
- Juice of one lemon
- Handful of dill, roughly chopped plus extra for garnish.
- 4 Tbsp mayo of your choice (we used Best Foods)
- Salt and pepper
Method:
- Mix together ginger, garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil.
- Coat salmon fillet, and leave to marinate skin side up for minimum one hour.
- Make slaw by mixing together cabbage, apples, spring onions, capers, lemon juice, dill, and mayo.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Heat barbecue grill to medium-high heat and remove salmon from marinade.
- Cook salmon skin side down for approximately four minutes until skin is crispy.
- Turn salmon and cook for a further 30 seconds to one minute on the non-skin side.
- Remove from barbecue and rest covered in tin foil.
- To serve, place slaw in parmesan cup and flake salmon on top.
- Garnish with extra dill sprigs.
