Salmon Kabobs
- 2 pounds salmon (cubed)
- 2 lemons (thinly sliced)
Marinade
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
- 2 teaspoons capers
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, water, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, sesame seeds, capers, ground cumin, dried oregano, coarse salt, and crushed red pepper flakes until well combined.
- Marinate the salmon: Add the cubed salmon to the marinade and mix gently to coat all pieces. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Soak skewers: While the salmon is marinating, soak wooden skewers in water to prevent burning during grilling.
- Assemble the kabobs: Thread the salmon cubes onto the soaked skewers, alternating with thin lemon slices, placing about 5 salmon pieces per kabob.
- Preheat the grill: Heat the grill to high temperature and place a grill grate or heavy-duty aluminum foil on the grill to prevent sticking.
- Grill the kabobs: Place the assembled kabobs on the grill and cook for 10 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the salmon is evenly browned and cooked through.
Notes
- Soaking wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes prevents them from burning on the grill.
- Use fresh salmon for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can cook the kabobs under a broiler or on a grill pan stovetop.
- Adjust the crushed red pepper flakes for desired spice level.
- Serve with a simple salad or rice for a complete meal.
