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.
TERIYAKI SALMON STRIPS
Steps:
- In a non-reactive shallow pan, mix together 1 cup teriyaki sauce and 1 cup water for a marinade. Place the salmon on the pre-soaked skewers and marinate for 10 minutes.
- Heat oil in a grill pan or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 3 minutes on each side for medium, or 5 minutes on each side for well done.
- Arrange the skewered salmon in a star-like pattern. Generously drizzle 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce over the skewers. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
TERIYAKI SALMON SKEWERS
The sweet dark flavour of teriyaki is an ideal match for salmon. This is an easy appetizer, perfect to pick up and enjoy with a glass of sparkling wine. By using a centre cut of salmon your skewers will be equal in size and cook evenly. Let your wooden skewers soak in water for about 20 minutes to prevent flare-ups in the oven. From Food and Drink :)

Steps:
- Whisk together soy and hoisin sauces, vinegar and garlic in a bowl.
- Slice salmon fillet across the grain into thin strips. Add to soy mixture and let stand for 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Thread each salmon strip onto small metal or soaked wooden skewers. Place skewers on baking sheet and broil, turning and basting with marinade once, for about 4 minutes or until golden and fish flakes easily when tested. Alternatively, cook skewers on oiled grill pan on grill.
- Before serving, sprinkle with green onion and sesame seeds, if using.
Tips:
- Selecting the Right Salmon: Choose fresh, wild-caught salmon fillets or steaks for the best flavor and texture. Look for pieces that are firm to the touch and have a vibrant color.
- Cutting the Salmon: Cut the salmon into 1-inch cubes or strips for even cooking. This will help ensure that the salmon cooks through without overcooking.
- Preparing the Marinade: Whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and garlic in a bowl. This flavorful marinade will infuse the salmon with a sweet and savory taste.
- Marinating the Salmon: Place the salmon cubes in the prepared marinade and let them soak for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. The longer the salmon marinates, the more flavorful it will be.
- Choosing the Right Skewers: Use metal or bamboo skewers for grilling the salmon. If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
- Assembling the Kebabs: Thread the marinated salmon cubes onto the skewers, alternating with vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Leave some space between the pieces to allow for even cooking.
- Grilling the Kebabs: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the kebabs with oil and grill them for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the salmon is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Conclusion:
These Salmon Teriyaki Kebabs are a delicious and healthy meal that are perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight dinner. The salmon is tender and flavorful, while the teriyaki marinade adds a sweet and savory glaze. The vegetables add a pop of color and nutrition to the kebabs. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a restaurant-quality meal at home. Serve these kebabs with rice or noodles and a side of steamed vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
