INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the BarbeSkew grill to medium. Mix all the ingredients for the stuffing together in a bowl. For quickness this can be done in a food processor, ensure though you do not over process, it should be quite chunky in appearance.
Prepare each Fillet
Combine the basting ingredients together using a balloon whisk. Set one fillet of salmon flat onto a board fill the pocket with the stuffing mixture. Place on a piece of foil and make a parcel. Drizzle with some of the basting sauce before sealing tightly. Brush the BarbeSkew chrome cage lightly with olive oil and place the salmon within the cage, close. Cook on the BarbeSkew rotating for 30 minutes. To serve with additional basting sauce heat on a medium light until hot and slightly reduced.
When the cooking has been completed on the BarbeSkew remove and serve on a warmed serving platter. Additional sauce optional.
