Ingredients

720g salmon, skin off 

2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil  

1 small bunch fresh dill 

1 lemon, sliced 

2 cloves garlic, crushed  

Freshly ground salt and black pepper  

 

Seasonal Green Beans

500g green beans

40g shaved parmesan

2 Tbsp lemon juice

1.5 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 Tbsp low GI honey

1 tsp fresh thyme leaves

Salt and pepper

 

Method

  1. Preheat your barbecue to medium heat. 
  2. Take the salmon out of the fridge and let it stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.  
  3. Line a large tray with a large piece of foil (big enough to wrap the salmon). Using a pastry brush, brush the foil with olive oil.  
  4. Arrange a few lemon slices and sprigs of dill in the center of the foil. Place salmon fillet on top.  
  5. Pour the rest of the olive oil over the salmon fillet. Add crushed garlic, sprigs of dill and more lemon slices. Add a sprinkling of salt and pepper.  
  6. Wrap the salmon with the foil, folding the sides securely to ensure there are no open spaces. Allow a little space inside the foil parcel so that air can circulate and steam the fish. 
  7. Place salmon parcel on the preheated barbecue grill and cook for approximately 15 minutes or until the thickest part of the salmon is almost cooked (Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the salmon).  
  8. Remove from the barbecue grill. Open the foil parcel to let the steam out and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with barbecued vegetables or salad.  

Seasonal Green Beans

  1. Trim the tops of the beans. Steam or blanch beans for approximately 3-5 minutes or until tender. Rinse in cold water to stop the cooking process then drain thoroughly and pat dry with a clean tea towel or paper towel.
  2. For the dressing: add olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, pepper and thyme to a small bowl or jar. Mix or shake well.
  3. Add cooked beans to a large bowl. Drizzle over the dressing and top with parmesan shavings. Delicious served with just about any type of protein.
