    1 Preheat barbecue grill. Lay 5 pieces of string across a board.

    2 Place a salmon fillet, skinned-side up, over string. Spread pesto evenly over fillet then lay marinated peppers over top to cover fillet.

    3 Carefully place other fillet on top, lining up one thin end with one thick end for even thickness. Sprinkle paprika over then tie  strings. Barbecue on one side for about 10 minutes then carefully turn over and cook for another 15 minutes or until just cooked through.

    4 Remove from barbecue and rest for 5-10 minutes. To make yoghurt and lemon sauce, combine sauce ingredients and mix well.

    5 Remove string from salmon and slice carefully into portions. (Slice across or slice fillet in half across and then lengthwise into portions). Serve with sauce, potatoes and salad.
