Fennel- and Dill-Rubbed Grilled Salmon

This fennel and dill rubbed grilled salmon is a vibrant and nutritious centrepiece that brings a sophisticated edge to your summer barbecue. The spice rub combines the aromatic, aniseed notes of toasted fennel with the earthy sweetness of Spanish smoked paprika and dried dill, creating a beautiful crust on the fish. By using a whole side of wild salmon, you ensure a moist, flaky texture that pairs perfectly with the bold, smoky flavours of the grill.

As a heart-healthy main course, this dish is rich in essential omega-3 fatty acids and lean protein, making it a brilliant choice for those seeking a lighter yet satisfying dinner. Transitioning from the grill to the table is made simple with a clever flipping technique, ensuring the delicate fillet remains intact. Serve this alongside a crisp seasonal salad or some crushed new potatoes for a complete, homemade meal that is as nourishing as it is delicious.

How to make Fennel- and Dill-Rubbed Grilled Salmon

Finely grind fennel seeds in spice mill or coffee grinder. Transfer to small bowl. Mix in next 5 ingredients.

Spray grill rack with nonstick spray. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush salmon lightly on both sides with olive oil. Rub spice mixture generously over flesh side of salmon. Place salmon, skin side up, on grill rack; cover and cook until fish is slightly firmer, about 8 minutes. Slide rimless baking sheet under salmon to turn salmon over without breaking.

Cover and grill until just opaque in centre, about 8 minutes longer. Using rimless baking sheet, remove salmon from grill. Gently slide salmon, flesh side up, onto platter and serve.
