1. 1
   Trim each lemongrass stalk to about 10cm long, then slice each stalk in half lengthwise to create 8 x 10cm skewers.
2. 2
   To make the marinade, combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Check for seasoning.
3. 3
   Cut salmon into 24 equal-sized cubes and add to the marinade. Toss well to combine and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside for 30 minutes.
4. 4
   Thread three pieces of salmon onto each piece of lemongrass to make 8 skewers.
5. 5
   Heat an oiled barbecue or char-grill plate to medium-high and cook skewers for about a minute on each of the 4 sides, until nicely charred.
6. 6
   Pile onto a platter and nestle the cucumber alongside the skewers. Then scatter fresh mint and crispy shallots over the top and serve with lime wedges on the side.
