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.
