- 8 cherry tomatoes
For the tarragon sauce:
- 3-5 shallots, chopped
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 125ml white wine
- 1 tomato, diced
- 3 x 15ml spoons dried tarragon or 15g fresh, chopped
- 1 x 15ml spoon fresh parsley, chopped

- 2 x 15ml spoons olive oil
- 1 x 15ml spoon balsamic vinegar
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
To serve:
- green crisp salad leaves
Method:
For the tarragon sauce:
Combine half the shallots with the garlic, wine, tomato, tarragon and parsley in a small pan. Bring to the boil and cook over a high heat for 3-4 minutes until it is reduced to about 2 x 15ml spoons of liquid.
Add the stock and continue to cook over a high heat until it reduces again to about 4 x 15ml spoons. Strain and leave to cool. Season with salt and pepper; it should have a strong, slightly sour and herby taste.
Light the barbecue or preheat a gas barbecue.
Thread the skewers, using 1 slice of bacon and 3-4 cubes of salmon per skewer. Alternate the bacon and the salmon. Place a cherry tomato at the end of each skewer.
Lay the skewers on a plate and sprinkle with the remaining shallots, the olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and 3 x 15ml spoons of the cold tarragon sauce. Leave for about 10 minutes or until ready to cook.
Cook the salmon skewers over hot coals for between 5 to 7 minutes, turning frequently.Drizzle each skewer with a little of the remaining sauce. Serve immediately with a crisp green salad.
