Notes

Tips
  • The ground cardamom makes this a great dish for the Christmas holiday season, but you can use other spices as you like.
  • Try using various dry rubs and have fun experimenting with different flavours such as Cajun and Creole, BBQ, Herbs de Provence, Jerk and Harissa.
  • Adding a squeeze of fresh citrus juice, such as orange or lemon, gives the salmon a lovely bright flavour.
  • For best results, remember to flip the salmon fillets over halfway through the cook time.
