Method
1. Place the wild Alaska salmon and raw prawns in a blender and blitz to a smooth paste. Add the ginger, lemongrass, lime zest and juice and coriander, and continue to blitz until combined. Refrigerate until needed.2. For the sauce: combine all the ingredients and whisk together. Refrigerate until needed.
3. Preheat the oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. Divide the salmon mixture into 4 equal portions. Take each piece in your hand and wrap around each of the lemongrass spears, leaving 3 cm either end of the spear bare.
4. Coat each salmon spear in sesame seeds to form an outer coating. To cook the salmon spears, heat an oiled griddle pan or heavy-based frying pan and brown each side and then transfer to a lightly greased baking sheet. Cook in the oven for 6-7 minutes until golden brown, turning the spears every couple of minutes.

I had a go at making this but the mixture would not stay on the lemongrass stalks properly so ended up shaping into balls, which actually worked out better!!
Also, the dark soya sauce for the dip was too much, would work better with light soya sauce.
Very yummy and a good idea!
