Grilled Cocoa Spiced Salmon
This is an interesting dish as the cocoa, mustard and spices that are full of flavour make a fantastic dry rub for salmon.
This recipe for Grilled Cocoa Spiced Salmon is amazing on the barbeque but can be grilled or cooked in the oven, so don’t worry we don’t have to wait for the summer to enjoy this recipe.
In this recipe I have used dry mustard and you can make up the mustard into a sauce that can be served alongside the salmon.
I served this salmon dish with new baby potatoes and mange tout and baby sweetcorn to add colour.
