Grilled Salmon with Pancetta and Peppers

(serves 4)

4 fil­lets (about half a side) salmon
1 tsp Fox Point sea­son­ing
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup diced pancetta
4 red, orange or yel­low pep­pers, sliced length­ways
4 hand­fuls rocket leaves or mixed leaf salad

dress­ing:
3 tbsps olive oil
1 tbsp bal­samic vine­gar
juice of half lemon
1 tsp pre­pared horse­rad­ish
1/2 tsp mus­tard
salt and pepper

Rinse and pat dry the salmon and lay it on a large plat­ter. Mix the Fox Point with the olive oil and smear it over the fish. Leave to take the refrig­er­a­tor chill off.

Fry the pancetta in a heavy skil­let until crisp and brown and then lift out of the remain­ing fat onto a paper towel to drain. Fry the pep­per strips in the pancetta fat and then lift them out and set aside. Place a hand­ful of salad leaves on each person’s plate.

Grill the salmon skin side down for four min­utes, then turn and grill for a fur­ther four min­utes, then peel off skin and dis­card. Divide evenly among the four plates and scat­ter the pancetta and pep­pers around the fish. Driz­zle with dress­ing. Voila.
