Barramundi, Bacon and Lemon Skewers with Cashew Pesto
/Recipe By Michael Weldon
Ingredients
4 Coles barramundi fillets, cut into 2 – 3 cm chunks
4 rashers of Coles streaky bacon, cut into squares
2 lemons, sliced as thinly as you can into rounds
drizzle Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil
sea salt
16 bamboo skewers
Coriander & Cashew Salsa
½ cup Coles cashews chopped
1 garlic clove grated
2 spring onions, chopped thinly
1 bunch of coriander chopped
1 green chilli chopped
1 lemon, juice
½ cup Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil
pinch sea salt
Cooked using The Ziggy available at Barbeques Galore
Method
Using 2 skewers, skewer a piece of barramundi followed by a lemon round and a square of bacon. Repeat this process until you have approximately 3 pieces of each ingredient on the skewer, placing the bacon on the end to hold everything in place. Repeat this process until you have 8 skewers.
Heat a BBQ until it begins to smoke.
Brush the skewers with some extra virgin olive oil and season with a pinch of salt. Place on the grill and cook until charred all over and the meat is ready.
Add the salsa ingredients to a bowl, mix until evenly combined. Taste for seasoning and adjust to your liking. When cooked, serve the skewers with the coriander and cashew salsa on the side.
