• 900 g thick salmon filets
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
For the bourbon glaze
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced

Method
Cut salmon filets into 50 even cubes. Coat with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Place a veggie basket on the grill. Heat grill to high.
Place the salmon skin side down in the veggie basket. Grill for 4-5 minutes.
Flip. Grill for 3 more minutes. Drizzle with glaze (recipe below) and grill for 2 more minutes. Remove from grill.
Place the cubes on a platter or mini appetiser plate. Spoon on more glaze and sprinkle with green onions to garnish. Add a decorative toothpick.
For the bourbon glaze
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a sauce pot.
Sauté garlic and onions over medium heat for five minutes, until tender.
Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Continue boiling until thickened and it coats the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes.
