YOUR NEW CROWD-PLEASER
BBQ & HOROPITO DRY RUB HOT SMOKED SALMON
It’s sweet, tangy, a little spicy and, like all things barbecued, it’s deliciously smoky. We’ve teamed up these salmon fillets with cooling avocado crema and zesty fresh fruit salsas so you can entertain with plates full of colour and pizzazz all season long, at home, at the bach or on the beach. Enjoy these easy recipes that can be assembled in mere moments – just add lime-spiked margaritas and cold beer.
