I tagged this one to make for one of my team mates in a recipe swap I am involved. It is a great summer time recipe I made as directed apart from adding some extra chili to the mix. I also cut the apples back to 2 instead of 4 as I thought that 4 was a bit to much for only 2 people. To read other reviews on this recipe please click here.

Salmon
1lb Salmon fillet, skin on, any pinbones removed
2 Tablespoons olive oil

Method
1. Rinse the salmon under cold running water; pat dry with paper towels and place in a shallow dish.
2. In a measuring cup, mix the olive oil, honey, mustard, garlic, lemon juice, and chili powder; pour mixture over the salmon, turning to coat.
3. Cover, place in the refrigerator and marinade for 2 to 3 hours or, quick marinade, for 30 minutes at room temperature.
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
5. Transfer the salmon to a baking dish, reserving the marinade,.
6. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake 8 minutes; pour the marinade over the salmon.
7. Continue to cook and additional 4 to 5 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork; season with salt to taste.
8. While the salmon cooks, core the apples and cut each into 8 wedges.

I served ours over a fresh corn, red pepper and avocado salad with a balsamic dressing.

This is a wonderfully easy recipe to do and it is full of flavour and tastes great. I served the kebabs over salad but they can be served as part of a BBQ as one of several dishes being cooked and this dish also goes very well accompanied by a greek salad. They can also be cooked under the grill instead of on the BBQ so these make a perfect after work meal. I used 450g Piece of pork loin and I placed 
three pieces of meat on each skewer and got 3 skewers per person for the three of us, I think if you upped the weight by 100g it should work out for 4 people with 3 skewers each. This is perfect when served with an accompaniment such as salad or rice, if seving as is you would definitely want to up the weight of the pork fillet and bacon slices to make more skewers.
Ingredients
9 Skewers (Medium sized)
450g Pork Loin, cut into 2cm pieces (should have 27 pieces)
10 Slices pancetta, some will need to be halved and some will have to be cut into three, depending on how big the piece of pork is that the pancetta will be wrapped around.)
1 Red Capsicum (250g), cut into 18 Pieces
1/3 Cup olive oil
3 Cloves garlic
1 Tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
Method
1. Place oil, garlic, and rosemary in a bowl mix, add pork pieces toss to coat, marinade 15 Minutes.(I usauly leave pork while I chop capsicum and pancetta.)
2. Wrap pancetta around each pork piece thread onto skewer, then thread a slice of capsicum, then wrapped pork, capsicum, and finally last wrapped pork piece. Repeat with remaining skewers.
3. Cook on a heated grill plate or BBQ or cook under the grill, brushing with the little remaining oil garlic mix, until cooked through.
Serves 3 See note above for 4 servings.
