Apple cider vinegar is being hailed for its health benefits but it also gives a sweet, acidic kick to sauces and dressings.

1/4 cup (60ml) apple cider vinegar
1 tsp brown sugar
4 x 200g skinless salmon fillets, pin-boned, cut into 2cm-wide strips
400g watermelon, cut into 1cm pieces
1 large zucchini, cut into 1cm pieces
1/2 tsp coriander seeds, toasted, crushed
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1/2 bunch mint, leaves chopped
1/4 cup (40g) pitted kalamata olives, chopped
1/4 cup (60ml) extra virgin olive oil
Lemon wedges, to serve

Method

1.

Combine vinegar, sugar and 1 tsp salt in a bowl, stirring until dissolved. Thread salmon onto skewers, then, reserving 1 tbs pickling liquid, brush remaining pickling liquid over salmon. Set aside for 5 minutes.
2.

Place reserved pickling liquid in a bowl with watermelon, zucchini, coriander seeds, onion, mint, olives and 1 tbs olive oil, and toss to combine. Set aside.
3.

Preheat a barbecue or chargrill pan to high. Drain salmon, pat dry and brush with remaining 2 tbs oil. In batches, cook salmon skewers for 2 minutes on one side until crisp, then turn and cook for 1 minute to seal. Serve with salsa and lemon wedges.
