Ingredients

500 gram boneless salmon fillets cut into 3 cm cubes

1/4 cup miso paste

8 bamboo skewers soaked (see tip)

1/4 cup sesame seeds

1 tablespoon peanut oil

1 avocado, seed removed, peeled, chopped

1 green onion, finely sliced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

lemon wedges, to serve

Method

1.In a shallow dish, toss salmon pieces with miso paste to coat. Thread 3 pieces onto each bamboo skewer.

2.Spread the sesame seeds onto a plate. Holding the skewer, dip salmon into sesame seeds on two opposite sides.

3.Heat oil in a large frying pan on high. Cook skewers, sesame side down, for 2 minutes each side. Reduce heat to medium and cook for a further 2-4 minutes, turning occasionally.

4.In a bowl, toss avocado, onion and lemon juice together. Season to taste. Serve with salmon kebabs and lemon wedges.

Soak bamboo skewers in warm water for 10 minutes to help prevent scorching during cooking. If you prefer, cook skewers on an oiled barbecue plate.
