Thai salmon chilli skewers
You will love the Thai flavours marinated with the salmon. And they’re easy to do! Especially if you have sweet chilli sauce, which is a mainstay in every kitchen. You can use any brand as there are plenty of good sweet chilli sauces out there. It’s something we use all the time. Coat your salmon in it, then skewer portions with scallions, grill them, and top with toasted sesame oil, toasted sesame seeds, and cilantro. (If you don’t like cilantro, feel free to leave it out.) If you’re familiar with the kitchen, they’ll take even less than 30 minutes to make, you even have time to cook the rice!

INGREDIENTS
Four filets (4 oz.) salmon, sliced into chunks
Salt & pepper to taste
One bunch of green onions, peeled and chopped into 1 to 2-inch pieces.
One cup sweet chilli sauce & extra to serve as a topping
One tbsp coconut butter
Two tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
One tablespoon sesame oil, roasted
One tablespoon sesame seeds, roasted
Two sliced limes

INSTRUCTIONS
Season the salmon with salt and pepper in a mixing dish, then toss with the sweet chilli sauce to coat well. Start and end with the salmon chunks, skewering them with around 3 or 4 pieces of green onion in between (you can use 4 to 5 salmon chunks per skewer). If desired, stir with a bit of additional chilli sauce.

Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. In a skillet, saute the skewers until they are opaque and brown on all sides, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove the salmon from the pan and set it aside on a platter. Drizzle the toasted sesame oil on top, then sprinkle the cilantro and sesame seeds on top. Finish with a lime spritz. Serve with lime wedges and more chilli sauce on the side. Add a green salad or serve with rice.
