Serves 6

• 6 150g (5 ounce) salmon fillets

• 75g (3 ounces) of butter at room temperature
  
• 6 garlic cloves, crushed or finely chopped

• 3 teaspoons of sun-dried tomato paste
  
• 20 sage leaves
  
• 12 long chives

1. Mix together the butter, garlic, chopped olives, sun-dried tomato paste, salt and black pepper until well blended.

3) Place the sage leaves over the slit, enclosing the butter.

4) Place a slice of Parma ham over the slit and then wrap around the salmon.

5) Knot a chive around each salmon fillet to secure.

6) Cook the salmon over hot coals for about 4 to 5 minutes per side until the Palma ham is crispy and the salmon is cooked though. Serve with a lemon wedge for squeezing over.
