Method

  1. Toss salad ingredients together and set aside.
  2. Season fish cubes and thread onto pre-soaked bamboo skewers or metal skewers (add a few slices of lemon or lime in between if you like).
  3. Heat oil until almost smoking.
  4. Fry skewers for about 30 seconds per side.
  5. Remove from pan and drizzle with lemon or lime juice.
  6. Blitz dressing ingredients with a stick blender until smooth. Season.
  7. Arrange skewers on top of salad and serve with dressing on the side.

 

Even better on the braai! Brush with melted butter or oil, and cook over medium to hot coals for about 3 minutes a side or until fish is cooked through.
