Best 7 Spicy Grilled Salmon Kabobs Recipes

GRILLED SALMON KABOBS

Steps:

• Add the marinade ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
• Place the cubed salmon into the marinade and cover the bowl. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the salmon to marinate. While the salmon marinates, soak the wooden skewers.
• Assemble the skewers with a lemon slice between each of the salmon cubes, about 5 salmon pieces per kabob.
• Preheat grill to high heat, and add a grill grate or piece of heavy duty aluminum foil.
• Grill salmon for 10 minutes, turning once to evenly brown both sides.

MEDITERRANEAN SALMON KABOBS

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)

GRILLED SALMON KABOBS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients - olive oil, lemon juice, red onion juice, garlic, dried rosemary, salt and pepper. Add the salmon cubes, toss to coat and marinate for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, thread the vegetables on ½ inch wide metal skewers (if using wooden or bamboo skewers, soak them in water at least 30 minutes before using).
• Preheat the charcoal grill about 30 minutes before grilling. We recommend using hardwood charcoal and not briquettes for perfect flavor. The grill is ready when the flame has subsided, coals glow uniformly and covered with some ash.Tip: A small fan or hair dryer may be useful. Check this tutorial for more about charcoal grilling.
• Alternatively, grill salmon kabobs using nicely oiled grates on gas grill at medium heat. See note for stove top or broiling options.
• Thread the salmon cubes on ½ inch wide metal skewers. Combine the spices - advieh (or cumin + coriander), dried ground ginger, ground pepper, salt and mango powder or sumac. Sprinkle this mixture generously over salmon cubes on all sides.
• To make the basting mixture, combine leftover marinade with olive oil and pinch of salt. Stir in some tomato paste or saffron water, if preferred.
• Start grilling vegetables ahead of salmon kabobs. When they are about half done, proceed with salmon skewers.
• When the grill is ready, arrange salmon skewers directly over the charcoal grill without the grate, about 4 inches above the glowing coals. Grill kabobs for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, flipping them couple times, until salmon turns opaque throughout. Baste all skewers with basting mixture while grilling and at the end.
• Avoid cooking kabobs too close to the heat source or they will burn on the outside and remain uncooked inside. Do not cook at very low heat and for too long, otherwise they will become dry and overcooked.
• Serve salmon kabobs and grilled vegetables with lemon slices, lavash, rice and sumac on the side.

SPICY GRILLED SALMON KABOBS

Steps:

• Pour combined dressing and seasonings over fish in shallow dish; stir to evenly coat. Refrigerate 15 min. to marinate.
• Heat grill to medium-high heat. Remove fish from marinade; discard marinade. Thread fish, onions and peppers alternately onto 4 skewers.
• Grill 8 to 10 min. or until fish flakes easily with fork and vegetables are crisp-tender, turning occasionally.

SALMON KEBABS WITH HERB SAUCE

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.

SPICY GRILLED BEEF KABOBS

Steps:

• Cut the beef into 1 1/2 " cubes and place into a mixing bowl or large plastic sealable bag.
• Place the garlic, spices, and wine vinegar into a food processor. Blend and while still blending, drizzle in olive oil, mix well.
• Pour marinade mixture over beef and mix well, marinate in fridge for 2 - 4 hours.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the meat onto the skewers leaving about 1/2-inch in between the pieces of meat. Place on the grill and cook, with lid lowered, 2 to 3 minutes per side, 8 to 12 minutes in all (8 minutes for rare and 12 for medium).
• Remove from the heat to aluminum foil, wrap and allow to rest for 2 to 3 minutes prior to serving.

SMOKY AND SPICY ROASTED SALMON

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them in an ovenproof baking dish large enough to hold them without crowding.
• In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, salt, mustard powder, paprika, chili powder, pepper and garlic powder; mix well with a fork.
• Sprinkle the spice rub over the fillets, then turn them, pressing gently, to coat all sides with the rub. Brush the fillets all over with the olive oil.
• Roast the salmon for 12 to 14 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until it flakes easily and is just cooked in the center. Let the salmon rest for 5 minutes, then sprinkle lightly with salt and serve.
