Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound salmon belly or tail meat
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro leaves
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger
2 teaspoons finely chopped lemongrass
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Olive oil, for brushing
Plain yogurt or prepared yogurt dip, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium-low heat.
  • Chop the salmon meat by using a knife or a food processor, being careful not to pulverize the meat. Mix the salmon meat with cilantro, ginger, lemongrass, garlic and salt. Form little patties directly onto the skewers using your hands. Make sure the patties are firmly attached to the skewers before putting them onto the grill.
  • Brush the grill with olive oil. Grill the skewers until salmon is just cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the kebabs from the grill and serve immediately with plain yogurt or favorite yogurt dip.

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.

GRILLED SALMON KEBABS WITH KALE TABBOULEH



Grilled Salmon Kebabs with Kale Tabbouleh image

Salmon is not only the perfect foil for a fresh tabbouleh salad, but it's also hearty enough to withstand skewering and grilling, and won't flake apart as easily as leaner white fish. This dish packs the punch of two major superfoods: omega-3 rich salmon and vitamin-loaded kale.

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup bulgur
1 large bunch kale (about 10 ounces), leaves shredded
1 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh mint
2 lemons (1 1/2 juiced, 1/2 cut into wedges)
6 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the grill
1 tablespoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds center-cut skinless salmon fillets, cut into 2-inch chunks
3/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
1 Persian cucumber, grated

Steps:

  • Cook the bulgur as the label directs. Meanwhile, toss the kale, tomatoes, scallions, mint, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 4 teaspoons olive oil in a large bowl. Fluff the bulgur and stir into the kale mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate while you prepare the kebabs.
  • Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Whisk the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, the cumin and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the salmon chunks, tossing well to coat. Thread the salmon onto 8 skewers. (If using wooden skewers, soak them in water first for about 20 minutes.) Oil the grill grates; grill the kebabs, turning, until the fish is opaque, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • While the fish cooks, stir together the yogurt, cucumber and remaining lemon juice (about 1 tablespoon); season with salt and pepper. Divide the tabbouleh and salmon kebabs among plates; serve with the yogurt sauce and lemon wedges.

SPICED SALMON KEBABS WITH YOGURT SAUCE



SPICED SALMON KEBABS WITH YOGURT SAUCE image

Categories     Fish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
2 cardamom pods
3 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 (2-pound) fillet salmon, cut horizontally into 1-inch thick slices
Olive oil, for drizzling
Salt and freshly ground pepper
12-inch wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
1/2 orange

Steps:

  • Heat grill to high. Place spices in a small saute pan and toast on the grill for 45 to 60 seconds, shaking the pan several times, or until just fragrant. Let cool slightly and grind in a spice grinder or coffee grinder until finely ground. Process yogurt, onion, lemon juice, zest, cayenne, and toasted spices in a food processor until smooth. Set aside or refrigerate if not using for a while. Thread salmon onto skewers so the fish lies flat. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until slightly charred and just cooked through. Serve with yogurt sauce on the side and drizzle the juice of 1/2 orange over all.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon: Look for fresh, wild-caught salmon if possible. It should be firm to the touch and have a vibrant color.
  • Use a variety of spices: The spices in this recipe can be adjusted to your taste. For a milder flavor, use less cayenne pepper and cumin. For a more intense flavor, add more.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook it until it is just opaque in the center, about 8-10 minutes per side.
  • Make the yogurt sauce ahead of time: The yogurt sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld.
  • Serve the salmon kebabs with your favorite sides: These salmon kebabs can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, quinoa, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

These spiced salmon kebabs with yogurt sauce are a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight dinner. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the yogurt sauce is tangy and refreshing. If you're looking for a new way to enjoy salmon, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
