  • 2
    Heat your Le Creuset Toughened Non-Stick Rectangular Grill with a drizzle of olive oil and allow the pan to come up to medium/high temperature. Season the salmon fillets with sea salt, and a drizzle of olive oil, and place each fillet skin side down and cook until the skin releases itself from the pan - about 5 minutes. The skin should be crisp and golden.
  • 3
    Turn the salmon fillets over and turn off the pan allowing the residual heat of the pan to cook them through. Add a sprinkle of chipotle spice and brush with more olive oil. Cook for about 3 minutes. Remove the fillets from the pan and serve with charred limes, fresh yellow tomatoes, and coriander mint dressing.
