How do I make it?
- Make the Green Herb Mayonnaise by adding eggs to a food processor with mustard powder and garlic. Blitz to combine, then add olive oil in a thin, steady trickle. When all the oil has been added, pour in white wine vinegar and blend, then toss in chives, spinach, parsley and dill and blend. Season, to taste and refrigerate until required.
- Place salmon in a bowl with lemon juice, salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Massage with your hands and thread cubes onto skewers.
- Heat barbecue or a non-stick grill pan or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add skewers to the hot pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, then turn and continue cooking for a further 3 minutes or until the skewers are light pink in colour and the flesh flakes easily.
- Serve with mayonnaise and lemon.
