Recipe - steps

  • 1 Fire up the barbecue.
  • 2 Grind the garlic, green pepper, salt, lime juice and ginger in a food processor or mortar to make a salsa. Add the mint and cilantro and finally the olive oil and mix well. Set aside.
  • 3 Remove the core of the red and green cabbage, cut into strips and mix in a salad bowl.
  • 4 Mix the mayonnaise, lime zest, lime juice, soy sauce and ginger into a dressing. Add the dressing to the cabbage and mix well. Finish with the sesame seeds.
  • 5 Drizzle the salmon fillets with some olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place the salmon skin side down on the grill in the center of the barbecue. Grill for 2-3 minutes until the skin is crispy. Turn the salmon and move it to the side of the barbecue. Place the lid on top and grill for another 2 minutes. The salmon is done when it is just cooked, then it will still be juicy and tender.
  • 6 Serve the salmon with the coleslaw, the salsa verde and some lime wedges on the side.
