Method:
On a chopping board, combine lemon zest, capers and leafy fennel fronds and chop together. Rinse and pat the salmon dry. On the top side of each salmon fillet, cut three or four shallow slits in the flesh. Place fillets on a plate, oil and generously cover with lemon zest mixture, trying to get it into the slits so as to keep the flavour from falling off during cooking. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
On a mediumโhigh barbecue, cook for 2โ3 minutes each side. Start with the skin side down and when you turn it over remove the skin and place skin on the hotplate to continue cooking until crisp. If the fillets have a thick and a thin end, you may want to cut them in half, as the thin piece will need much less time to cook.
Remove from barbecue and arrange on a plate.
Combine lettuce, orange, sliced fennel and onion in a large salad bowl.
To make dressing, shake ingredients in a jar until combined. Taste and adjust to your liking. Pour over salad and toss together.
Sprinkle with coriander leaves and serve with salmon.
*Of course feel free to use normal wholegrain mustard if you are not GF!
