Description
This simple, Louisiana-inspired rub livens up any fish, and it’s particularly good with salmon. Serve the salmon with a thinly sliced onion, avocado, and cherry tomato salad for a light, flavoursome meal.
Method
Step 1 of 4
Combine the spices, thyme, sugar, and salt in a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder. Grind to a fine powder.
Step 2 of 4
Rub the mixture over both sides of the fish, cover with cling film, and leave to rest in the fridge while you prepare the grill.
Step 3 of 4
Preheat the grill on its highest setting and line a grill pan with foil. Brush the fish with a little oil on both sides, being careful not to dislodge the spice rub. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on its thickness.
Step 4 of 4
Once done, serve the grilled salmon on a plate with onion, avocado, and cherry tomato salad.
