Salmon is the perfect fast food, since it can be on the table in a matter of minutes. Here, Ree cuts it into chunks and threads it onto skewers to further speed up the cooking time. Salmon also works well with a marinade and will easily absorb your favorite flavors.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 orange, zested and juiced
1 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for serving
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, plus more for serving
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 clove garlic, grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
2 pounds salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch chunks
2 cups arugula
1 cup Greek yogurt

Steps:

Set the oven to broil. Line a half-sheet pan (13-by-18 inches) with foil.
Combine the citrus zests, juices, parsley, dill, paprika, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. While stirring, add the olive oil until combined; set aside.
Add the salmon to a separate bowl. Pour half of the sauce mixture over the salmon, tossing to completely coat it. Thread the salmon onto four 15-inch metal skewers. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
Add the salmon skewers to the sheet pan crosswise, allowing the skewers to hang off the edges and keeping the salmon from touching the pan.
Broil until the edges of the salmon become golden and it is cooked through (no need to turn), 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bed of arugula.
While the salmon rests, spread the Greek yogurt in a shallow bowl. Top with the remaining sauce mixture.
Garnish the salmon with more parsley and dill. Serve with the Greek yogurt on the side.

I made up this recipe with some summer fruit that I had on hand. I wanted something to go with some nice fresh salmon that I was planning to cook on the grill for dinner! It turned out great.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

4 wooden skewers
1 (1 pound) fillet salmon
¼ cup barbecue sauce, or as needed
1 mango - peeled, seeded, and cut into chunks
1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 fresh peach, pitted and cut into chunks
2 thick slices fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
3 tablespoons barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon honey

Steps:

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Place the skewers into a basin of water and allow to soak while you prepare ingredients.
Slather the salmon on both sides with 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce, and set aside.
Place mango, red bell pepper, peach, and pineapple chunks into a bowl. In a small bowl, stir 3 tablespoons of barbecue sauce with water, lime juice, olive oil, and honey until well mixed; pour the dressing over the fruit and pepper chunks, and toss to coat.
Thread skewers with alternating pieces of mango, red bell pepper, peach, and pineapple chunks.
Grill the skewers on the preheated grill, turning every few minutes, until each side of the skewered fruit is browned, about 10 minutes. Move the fruit skewers to a cool part of the grill, and place the salmon fillet onto the hot grill surface, skin side down. Grill the fish until it shows brown grill marks, the fish is opaque, and the flesh flakes easily, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Serve grilled salmon with fruit skewers.
