Prep time

Ingredients
- Cumin: 1 tbsp powdered cumin
- Coriander: bunch coriander, roughly chopped, plus extra to serve
- Garlic Clove: 4 garlic cloves
- Red Chilli: 1 red chilli, deseeded and chopped, to serve
- Olive Oil: 4 tbsp olive oil
- Smoked Paprika: 1 tbsp smoked paprika
- Lemon: juice 1 lemon
- Cayenne Pepper: 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- Salmon Fillet: 1 salmon fillet, skin on is essential, weighing about 500g/1lb 2oz
- Saffron: pinch saffron strands
- Coriander Seed: 1/2 tbsp coriander seed
Directions
- Tip all the ingredients for the marinade into a food processor and blitz until you have a rough paste. Sit the salmon in a dish and rub the marinade all over the flesh. Leave for 1 hr or overnight in the fridge.
- Heat the barbecue and fold a length of foil longer than the fish into a strip and sit the salmon on top, skin-side down. Using the ends of the foil, lift the fish onto the bars of the barbecue - if you have a kettle barbecue, place the lid on. Leave the fish for about 15 mins until it is just cooked through. Using the foil, carefully lift the fish onto a platter and scatter with coriander and chilli. Let everyone pull bits of the fish away, but leave the skin behind. Serve with a simple tomato, red onion and cumin seed salad.
