Recipe 1: Salmon with herb topping
Ingredients:
1 tsp brown sugar mixed with 2 tsp sea salt and
1 tsp cracked pepper
1 side (1kg) fresh salmon, boned and skinned
1 to 2 lemons or limes cut into wedges to serve
2 cups roughly chopped herbs (a mix of parsley, coriander and dill works well)
3 trimmed spring onions, finely sliced
½ cup toasted macadamia nuts, chopped
2 lemons, juice of 2, zest of 1
2 small cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp creamed horseradish
3 tbsp olive oil
Preparation:
1. Coat the salmon side with the sugar, salt and pepper mix. Cover and set aside for 1 hour.
2. Wash off any excess salt and dry salmon fillet with kitchen paper towels before wrapping in two layers of tinfoil.
3. Cook on a moderately hot barbecue for 12 to 15 minutes, which should ensure it’s medium-rare or pink in
the middle.
4. Carefully move to your serving platter.
5. Combine the topping ingredients and sprinkle over the cooked salmon. Season with a little salt and milled pepper and serve with wedges of fresh lemon or lime.
6. When cooking salmon on the grill, always use two layers of tinfoil to avoid it breaking under the weight of the fish.
Recipe 2: Salmon fillet with roast vegetables
Ingredients:
Juice of 1 lemon
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp chopped thyme or rosemary
1 parsnip, peeled and cut into sticks
2 carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
1 fennel bulb, cut into quarters
650g salmon fillet, skin on, bones and sinew removed, cut into 4 equal portions
Extra chopped herbs, for garnish
Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 200C. In a small bowl mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and herbs. Toss the parsnip, carrots and fennel in the flavoured oil to coat evenly.
2. Place vegetables in a baking dish and roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until they are golden and tender.
Set vegetables aside and keep warm.
3. Reduce oven to 180C. Season the flesh of the salmon with salt and pepper. Drizzle with a little olive oil. Place the salmon in the pan, skin side down. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes depending on how well cooked you like your salmon.
4. Serve salmon with a sprinkle of herbs, the vegetables on the side and some steamed greens.
Recipe 3: Salmon gravalax
Ingredients:
1 to 1.25kg side of salmon, skin on
3 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp sea salt
Freshly ground white pepper
1 tbsp vodka
1 bunch dill, roughly chopped
Preparation:
1. Remove pin bones from salmon and also trim off any excess fat at the side edges of the salmon.
2. Sprinkle combined sugar and salt over salmon and then white pepper. Drizzle with the vodka and scatter with dill.
3. Firmly wrap the salmon in several layers of plastic clingfilm and refrigerate for 36 to 48 hours with the skin facing up. It’s ideal to place a weight on top of the salmon to press it down.
4. Remove excess dill from salmon and – using a very sharp knife – slice it diagonally into very thin slices.
Recipe 4: Salmon Linguine
Ingredients:
200g fresh salmon, skin and bones removed
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 tbsp capers
Finely grated rind of 1 lemon
400g fresh linguine pasta
1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
Lemon wedges to serve
Preparation:
1. Chop the salmon flesh into 2cm pieces.
2. Heat the oil with the garlic, chilli, capers and lemon rind in a small frying pan. Cook very gently so that the oil is infused with the flavours rather than frying the ingredients.
3. Cook the linguine in boiling, salted water until just tender, then drain well.
4. Add the salmon to the oil and cook for 2 minutes. Toss the oil and salmon mixture through the drained linguine along with the chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon.
