This recipe has been adapted from my most recent book, The Chef Gets Healthy, and it’s a regular when friends come around because it’s easy and super tasty, says Tobie.

2 tsp each cumin & coriander seeds
2 tsp hot smoked paprika
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to brush
600g piece salmon fillet (skin on)
2 limes, halved

Method

1.

Using a mortar and pestle, pound cumin and coriander seeds until finely ground. Stir through paprika and oil. Place salmon on a plate and rub marinade all over. Cover and chill for 30 minutes or overnight to marinate.
2.

Heat a barbecue or chargrill pan to high heat.
3.

Brush cut-side of lime halves with extra oil and grill, cut-side down, for 2 minutes or until grill marks appear. Brush salmon with extra oil and grill, skin-side down, for 7 minutes, then turn and grill for a further 2-3 minutes or until medium rare. Transfer salmon to a serving plate with limes and rest for 5 minutes before serving.
