Start with a whole salmon and place it on a clean surface.

Use a cloth underneath to prevent the fish from sliding.

Begin filleting by cutting under the wing and along the top of the fish.

Press down on the fillet to help expose where to cut.

Use the long part of the knife for a clean slice along the backbone to remove the fillet.

Flip the fish to remove the second fillet or cut from the bottom side under the bones.

Pin bone the fillet by feeling for bones and removing them with fingers.

Prepare the cure by mixing deera sugar, rock salt, orange zest from two oranges, and lime zest.

Rub the cure mixture all over the salmon and let it marinate for 1.5 hours.

Rinse the salmon thoroughly to remove the cure mixture and trim it to an even piece.

Rub the salmon with olive oil and season with salt.

Place the salmon skin-side down on a soaked cedar board.

Put the cedar board with salmon on the barbecue and close the lid to cook like an oven.

Monitor the cooking process, adjusting the position of the salmon as needed based on heat.

Prepare a salad with baby co leaves and sliced spring onions.
