When buying the fish for this one, the only way to get the right type of cut is to go to a supermarket fish counter, or preferably a fish market stall or fishmonger. A supermarket fish counter will often charge you for the entire fish (and salmon are not small!), so if only barbecuing for 2 or 3 people, it would be better to go to a specialist fishmonger. You will need a boneless cut throughout the entire fish, with a cut through the middle from the bottom to half way up the fish,as shown in image number 2. |

Start by making the filling for the fish - This can be made more complex, but a simple one is using the ingredients above, just mix the garlic, onion, créme fraiche and juice of one of the lemons in a bowl to a reasonably thick paste.
|

Then fill the salmon piece with the paste and close careful not to spill the filling...

|

Brush the top with olive oil, put 3 lemon slices on top, and place in a aluminium foil wrap before barbecuing.
|

The foil should cover the fish snugly, and you should oil the foil to prevent it sticking to the gill bars, as this will be barbecuing with the lid down.

Keep a constant eye on the thermometer on your barbecue - try not to let it wander over 200°C.

Also, check the fish quite often: when it is
ready it should be a pale pink throughout.
