Spicy Salmon Skewers Side Dish
Serves 2 | with Black Sesame Seeds and Coriander
Skewers are a popular method of cooking meat in Vietnamese cuisine, including examples such as nem lụi (pork on lemongrass skewers), nem nướng (grilled pork meatballs or sausages) and chạo tôm (shrimp paste on a sugar cane skewer). This twist skewers succulent salmon marinated in a spicy sauce. Scatter over sesame seeds and coriander for a fragrant finish reminiscent of the flavours of Vietnam.

Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.
