Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1.5 lb Salmon fillet, cut into cubes approximately 1-inch to 1-1/2 inch or so in size
1 zucchini, sliced into rounds
1 small red onion, cut into squares
Kosher salt and pepper
1/4 cup to 1/3 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil (I used Early Harvest Greek olive oil)
1 lemon, zested and juiced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 tsp dry oregano
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp mild chili pepper (I used this Aleppo pepper )
1/2 tsp ground coriander

Steps:

In a small bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients of extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, oregano, thyme, cumin, Aleppo pepper and coriander.
Place salmon pieces, zucchini and onions in a large mixing bowl. Season with kosher salt and pepper, and toss briefly. Now pour the marinade over the salmon and toss again to make sure the salmon is well coated with the marinade. Let the fish marinate for about 15 to 20 minutes (see Cook's Tip)
Beginning with salmon, thread salmon, zucchini and onions through skewers (if using wooden skewers, be sure to have soaked them for 30 minutes before using.)
Heat an outdoor grill (indoor grilling instructions in notes). Arrange salmon skewers on top and cover the grill. Grill salmon kabobs for 6 to 8 minute, covered, or until the fish is opaque throughout, turning once midway through cooking (using tongs is the best way to turn the salmon skewers)

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

½ cup margarine
¼ cup honey
3 fresh peaches, pitted and quartered
3 fresh plums, pitted and quartered
3 bananas, cut into 4 pieces each
12 strawberries, hulled
12 skewers

Steps:

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and place a large sheet of foil onto the grate.
Melt the margarine and honey together in a small saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Do not let the sauce boil.
Thread a peach quarter, a plum quarter, a banana piece, and a strawberry onto each skewer. Place the skewers onto the foil on the preheated grill; spoon margarine-honey mixture over each skewer.
Grill until the fruit is softened and the sauce has thickened and cooked onto the fruit, about 5 minutes. Flip the skewers, spoon more margarine-honey sauce over each, and grill for about 5 more minutes on the other side.

Tips:

Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught salmon that is fresh or frozen. Avoid farmed salmon, as it is often lower in quality and may contain harmful chemicals.
Prepare the salmon properly. Remove the skin from the salmon fillets and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Season the salmon with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
Choose the right fruits and vegetables. For this recipe, we recommend using pineapple, mango, and red onion. However, you can use any fruits or vegetables that you like. Just make sure that they are firm enough to hold up on the skewers.
Assemble the skewers. Thread the salmon, fruits, and vegetables onto the skewers in any order you like. Make sure that the skewers are not too crowded, or the food will not cook evenly.
Cook the skewers. You can cook the skewers on a grill, in a grill pan, or in the oven. If you are using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning once or twice, until the salmon is cooked through and the fruits and vegetables are tender.
Serve the skewers. Serve the skewers immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!

Conclusion:

BBQ salmon and fruit skewers are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy salmon. They are perfect for summer gatherings or any time you want a quick and easy meal. With a little planning and preparation, you can have these skewers on the table in no time.
