Why You’ll Love Salmon Skewers
Salmon skewers make a perfect summer meal: they’re light, healthy, and they cook up in mere minutes on the 🔥 grill. And I love this herby marinade, too. Dill and lemon are a match made in heaven. By grilling the salmon, the fish gets a nice char while being tender, delicate and flaky. These Salmon Skewers are a great make ahead as well since you can use the salmon in salads or with rice 🍚 or quinoa for lunches.
How to Prepare Salmon Skewers
💦 Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for 20 to 30 minutes. 🔪 Using a sharp knife, remove the skin and pin bones from the salmon and then cube them. 🥣 Add the salmon cubes and oil to a bowl and then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, dill and lemon juice. 🐟 Now, massage everything together gently with clean hands and then add each piece onto the skewer 🔥 Add a touch of oil to the grill pan and let it heat up. Place the Salmon Skewers onto the hot pan and make sure they sizzle. ⏲️ Turn the skewers over when you see golden grill marks; the cooking time will take anywhere from 5 to 9 minutes depending on how large the salmon pieces are. 😋 When the fish is nice and light pink in colour and flakes off easily with a fork, you know it’s ready to enjoy.
Variations and Substitutions for Salmon Skewers
Best Served With
Enjoy this with a beautiful 🥗 salad like my Wedge Salad or Simple Green Salad. Since the BBQ is already hot, I HIGHLY recommend making my 🥔 Grilled Potatoes with these Salmon Skewers! These would also be delicious dipped into my homemade 🥒 Tzatziki.
