Perfect dish for a light lunch, dinner or Bbq with family or friends. Preparing the skewers in advance can help to make the Bbq party more enjoyable as it takes very little time to cook it. Aubergine and spinach in the rolls helps the salmon to stay moist. Roasted red pepper and chilli dressing with the hint of lemon gives a kick and some acidity. It complements other elements really well. Perfect example of low carbs keto diet.
