Salmon skewers with courgette and lime

Babiche Martens

These salmon and courgette sticks are a great way to start a soiree — fresh, light and simple. A squeeze of lemon or lime depending on what you have (limes being expensive at this time of year) is all that is needed, and a dip into soy for a final touch.

Ingredients

2	Courgettes, peeled lengthways into ribbons (Main)
2 Tbsp	Lemon juice
200 g	Smoked salmon, sliced (Main)
12 pieces	Japanese pickled ginger
1	Lime, segments removed (Main)
1 Tbsp	Black sesame seeds
1	Lime, to serve
1 bowl	Soy sauce, to dip

Directions

1. Toss the courgettes into the lemon juice.
2. Cut the salmon into 12 strips.
3. Fold each ribbon of courgette, then fold the salmon placing a piece of ginger into the middle of each. Stick the salmon and courgette onto a skewer and top with a segment of lime. Repeat to make 12. Place on a platter, sprinkle with sesame seeds.
4. Serve with a little soy to dip.
