2 x 6oz salmon fillets sliced in half

In a large bowl, add 2 tbsp of bbq spice mix to 2 tbsp of olive oil and garlic
Marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes.
Heat a frying pan
Add 1 Tbsp of oil
Grill the salmon skin side down for 3 minutes
Turn over and grill for a further 3-4 minutes

Serve with vegetables and potatoes or a salad
