the Ingredients

Salmon Fillett With Crispy Skin
  • 4 salmon fillets (with skin), each 200 to 250 grams and about 50mm thick
  • Olive oil
  • Sea salt

For the salad 

  • 2 continental cucumbers
  • ½ cup chopped coriander
  • 6 large shallots, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium red chilli, seeded and finely diced

Dressing

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil

Instructions

  • Peel the cucumbers. Use a vegetable peeler to slice strips of cucumber from one end to the other. Discard the centre seeds. Place the cucumber in a colander and allow to drain for around 30 minutes.
  • Toss the cucumber with the chopped coriander, shallots, and chilli, and set aside until ready to serve.
  • Prepare the barbecue for direct cooking over medium- high heat (210° to 240°C) with a hotplate or Weber Ware Frying Pan.
  • Lightly brush the salmon fillets all over with olive oil. Season with salt. Place the salmon on the pre-heated hotplate or frying pan and cook over direct medium-high heat, skin side down, for 4 minutes. Turn the fillets and cook for another 2 or 3 minutes. Remove from the barbecue.
