Method

Mix all ingredients in a bowl.

Rub some olive oil on one side of an untreated plank which has been soaked in water, wine or beer for 1 hour. Place the salmon on it, skin-side down. Season with salt and pepper and brush with olive oil. Add the smoking chips to the coals (you should soak these for 1 hour in water too). Close the lid and braai for 25 minutes. Th
