Instructions

Hummus

  • Blend all ingredients together in a food processor until smooth
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days

  • Segment orange and combine with fennel *see notes*
  • Mix 2 tbsp olive oil, orange juice, salt & oregano together
  • Toss fennel and orange in dressing and top with some fennel fronds

Salmon

  • Rub salmon in 2 tbsp olive oil and season them
  • Cook on BBQ @ 160c skin side down for 6-8 minutes, flip and cook for a further 1-2 minutes until internal temperature is 52c
  • Rest for 2-3 minutes before serving
  • If using a grill pan, grill for 6-8 minutes on medium heat, flip and transfer to the oven for 3-4 minutes @ 160c until internal temperature is 52c

Notes

Tips/Tricks

  • after segmenting your orange used the remaining rind/bits you trimmed to obtain the juice
  • resting the fish is as important as resting meat. This allows the juices to redistribute
  • cook the salmon skin side down on the grill – it’s much easier to slide a spatula under the skin than it is the flesh
  • don’t be tempted to turn the salmon before 6 minutes (unless you have a very thin fillet), the time on the grill will crisp up the skin but also make sure it won’t stick to the grill
