Grilled Salmon Kebabs Recipes

GRILLED SALMON SKEWERS

Steps:

• Slice salmon lengthwise into 12 long strips, and thread each onto a soaked wooden skewer. Place in a shallow dish.
• In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and pepper. Pour over skewers, turning to coat. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. When finished marinating, transfer marinade to a small saucepan, and simmer for several minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Thread 1 lemon wedge onto the end of each skewer. Cook skewers on the preheated grill for 4 minutes per side, brushing often with marinade, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

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.

GRILLED SALMON KABOBS

• 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:

• 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)
