Method

  1. Put the salmon in a bowl, pour over the lime juice and leave the salmon to 'cure' for 5 mins. Meanwhile, mix all the spices together with the sugar. Lift the salmon out of the lime juice and roll in the spices so it's completely coated.
  2. Heat grill to high. Grease a baking tray, then sit the salmon, flesh-side up, on the tray. Grill for 5 mins, until the salmon is cooked through and the edges are starting to blacken. While the salmon is cooking, gently mix all the salsa ingredients together with the roughly chopped coriander. When the fish is cooked, serve with the salsa, some rice and the coriander sprigs.

    I enjoyed this salmon, but was surprised it didn't taste as spicy as anticipated. Overall I enjoyed it and it was easy to make.

    Fantastic. OH who isn't a big fish lover normally loved this meal - I used a pinch of Jamaican Jerk seasoning in with the spices as well.

    Not as spicy as I thought it would be. Instead of grilling the salmon I wrapped it in foil and baked for 20 minutes. Mixed cooked rice with the salsa.

    Quick & tasty - I used new potatoes instead of rice for a change. I also substituted haddock for salmon for himself as he prefers it and pan fried it with a lid which is much easier than using my grill.
