Method
Place the salmon cubes free of skin and bone onto 4 skewers.
Place the mint, zest and lime juice, sugar, pepper, salt and oil together in a bowl, mix really well.
Place the salmon skewers onto a plate or stainless steel tray, then pour over the mixture and coat well, leave to marinate.
Next, make the sauce by heating the 2 tbsp of olive oil, and then adding the onion, ginger, garlic, chilli and cook for 5-8 minutes to soften.
Add the vinegar, peanut butter to the pan, mix well and warm through off the stove, add the chopped coriander and the spring onions and add enough water to make a thick sauce.
When ready to cook, remove the skewers from the marinade, and pat really dry on kitchen towel.
Heat a barbecue or hot non stick frying pan, if using a barbecue, before heating lightly oil the bars with kitchen towel dipped in a little oil, also lightly oil the marinated salmon. This will stop them sticking.
Cook the salmon skewers for 3-4 minutes on each side. Serve with instant noodles and the dip on the side.
