Spiced Grilled Salmon with Lime Mayonnaise

This recipe, inspired by British-Jamaican chef Levi Roots, brings together perfectly grilled salmon with a bold, fragrant spice mix and a refreshing lime mayonnaise. Ideal for BBQs or quick family dinners, it pairs beautifully with sautéed potatoes and grilled broccoli for a wholesome, flavour-packed meal.

Ingredients

For the Lime Mayonnaise:

• 90ml mayonnaise
• Juice of 1 lime
• Salt, to taste

For the Spice Mix:

• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 tbsp garam masala
• 1 tsp salt
• Chilli powder, to taste (optional)
• 3–4 tbsp vegetable or olive oil
• 2 x 400g salmon fillets, skin on

Method

1. Prepare the Lime Mayonnaise:

• Mix the mayonnaise and lime juice in a small bowl.
• Season with salt to taste and set aside in the fridge.

2. Make the Spice Mix:

• In a spice blender or mortar, combine garlic, garam masala, salt, and optional chilli powder. Grind into a rough mixture.
• Add half the oil and mix, then gradually add more oil to form a smooth paste.

3. Marinate the Salmon:

• Brush the spice mix generously over both sides of the salmon fillets.

4. Grill the Salmon:

• Preheat the BBQ or grill. Place the salmon skin-side down and cook for about 5 minutes.
• Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3–4 minutes, ensuring the flesh is opaque throughout.
• Remove from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.

5. Serve:

• Slice the salmon into portions and serve with dollops of lime mayo. Pair with sautéed potatoes and grilled broccoli for a complete meal.
