Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for oiling the grill grates
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound center-cut salmon, skin and pin bones removed, cut into 24, 1 1/2- to 2-inch cubes
1 small red onion, cut into 1 1/2-inch-wide pieces
1 lemon, sliced into 1/3-inch-thick rounds and then quartered plus lemon wedges for serving
Herb Sauce, recipe follows
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon zest and 1 tablespoon lemon juice, from 1 lemon
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 clove garlic, smashed and peeled
Kosher salt
1/2 cup packed basil leaves
1/2 cup packed parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to 375 degrees F.
  • Add the olive oil, Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the salmon, red onion, and lemon quarters to the bowl and gently toss to coat.
  • To assemble the kebabs, thread a few pieces of red onion onto an 8-inch-long metal skewer (see Cook's Note). Next, add a piece of salmon, followed by a quarter of lemon. Continue threading the ingredients onto the skewer until you have 4 pieces of salmon on the skewer. Set the finished kebab aside and continue the process with the remaining skewers and ingredients.
  • Generously oil the grates of the preheated grill. Add the salmon kebabs to the grill and cook, turning halfway through, until nice grill marks have formed, and the salmon easily releases from the grill, 4 to 6 minutes. (This can alternatively be done on an indoor grill pan.)
  • Remove the salmon to a serving platter and drizzle with the Herb Sauce. Serve with lemon wedges.
  • Add the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a small food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse until the garlic is finely chopped. Add the basil and parsley leaves and blend until finely chopped. Transfer the herb sauce to a bowl to serve with the grilled salmon.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 orange, zested and juiced
1 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for serving
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, plus more for serving
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 clove garlic, grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
2 pounds salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch chunks
2 cups arugula
1 cup Greek yogurt

Steps:

  • Set the oven to broil. Line a half-sheet pan (13-by-18 inches) with foil.
  • Combine the citrus zests, juices, parsley, dill, paprika, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. While stirring, add the olive oil until combined; set aside.
  • Add the salmon to a separate bowl. Pour half of the sauce mixture over the salmon, tossing to completely coat it. Thread the salmon onto four 15-inch metal skewers. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
  • Add the salmon skewers to the sheet pan crosswise, allowing the skewers to hang off the edges and keeping the salmon from touching the pan.
  • Broil until the edges of the salmon become golden and it is cooked through (no need to turn), 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bed of arugula.
  • While the salmon rests, spread the Greek yogurt in a shallow bowl. Top with the remaining sauce mixture.
  • Garnish the salmon with more parsley and dill. Serve with the Greek yogurt on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Salmon: Opt for fresh, firm, and wild-caught salmon fillets or steaks. Look for pieces that are evenly colored and free of blemishes.
  • Cut Salmon Properly: Cut the salmon into 1-inch cubes or chunks for even cooking. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Marinate the Salmon: Marinating the salmon in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices enhances its taste. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Skewer the Salmon: Thread the salmon cubes onto skewers, alternating with vegetables or other ingredients like cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, or zucchini.
  • Cook the Salmon Skewers: Grill, bake, or pan-fry the salmon skewers until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for food safety.
  • Serve with Sauces: Serve the cooked salmon skewers with a variety of dipping sauces such as teriyaki sauce, lemon-herb butter, or a simple mixture of olive oil and lemon juice.
