Why You’ll Love Teriyaki Salmon Skewers
These Teriyaki Salmon Skewers are the ultimate summer dish, IMO. They’re light, but still satisfying, healthy but still delicious, and they are full of flavor, but have no added sugar from a bottled sauce. This homemade teriyaki sauce is so versatile too. Make a big batch and use it as a sauce for 🍗 chicken or steak, or you can use it as a stir-fry sauce as well. Serve with a side of steamed rice and 🥦 veggies, and dinner is done!
How to Prepare Teriyaki Salmon Skewers
💦 Take two wooden skewers and soak them in water. 🔪 Use a sharp knife to cube the salmon filets into equal-sized pieces and then add them to a bowl. I like to cut my salmon piece in half, flip it, and make 3-4 cuts to give me equal salmon cubes that fit on a bamboo skewer. 🍯 In a separate bowl or measuring cup mix the soy sauce, garlic, honey, and sesame oil. 🥄 Add the sauce on top of the salmon cubes and then toss it all together to coat. 🥢 Now, skewer each salmon cube onto the soaked bamboo skewers (I fit about 8 pieces onto each skewer). 🔥Heat up a pan, grill pan, or barbecue over medium-high heat, and make sure you add a touch of oil so that the salmon doesn’t stick. ⏲️ When the oil is hot, add the skewers and grill them on each side for a few minutes, making sure to rotate them in all directions. 🍚 Garnish with sesame seeds and serve with rice and veggies. Enjoy!

For a low-carb meal, serve these skewers over a green salad with all your favorite summer produce; avocados, cucumbers, and 🍅 tomatoes would be delicious.
