Time 28m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1.5 lbs salmon fillets (cut into 1-inch squares)
2 large lemons thinly sliced
16 10-inch bamboo skewers
2 Tbsp parsley (freshly chopped)
2 large or 3 small garlic cloves (pressed)
1/2 Tbsp Dijon mustard (we used grey poupon)
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
2 Tbsp light olive oil (not extra virgin, pick something with a higher smoke point)
2 Tbsp of fresh lemon juice from 1/2 large lemon or 1 small lemon

Steps:

  • Prep: Soak bamboo skewers at least 1 hour to keep them from catching fire. Preheat Grill to medium heat (about 375˚F).
  • In a medium bowl, stir together all of the marinade ingredients: 2 Tbsp chopped parsley, 2 pressed garlic cloves, 1/2 Tbsp dijon, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp pepper, 2 Tbsp olive oil, 2 Tbsp lemon juice.
  • Double skewer the salmon and lemon slices folded in half intermittently onto two skewers at a time (The double skewer aids in turning the salmon kebobs on the grill). Brush both sides of skewered salmon with marinade.
  • Oil the grates then carefully place salmon skewers onto the hot BBQ. Grill kebobs for 3-4 minutes per side or until salmon is cooked through and opaque.

Time 23m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound salmon, skinned and deboned
2 lemons, sliced into thin coins
6 wooden skewers (or more as needed), soaked in water
¼ cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
½ cup chopped fresh parsley
Reynolds Wrap® Non Stick Aluminum Foil

Steps:

  • Cut the salmon into 2-inch chunks. Fold the lemon coins in half and thread the salmon and lemon onto the soaked skewers, alternating between the salmon and lemon. Place the salmon skewers in a shallow dish and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the mustard, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, salt and pepper to taste. Pour marinade over the skewers, turning to coat, and marinate for 15 to 30 minutes.
  • While the skewers are marinating, prepare your grill. Cut a large piece of Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil and firmly fit it over the grill grate. Preheat the grill to medium heat. For a charcoal grill, place 4 to 5 hickory wood chunks on top of hot coals and close the grill cover to let the smoke accumulate. For a gas grill, place wood chunks in a smoker box or in a large piece of foil; fold up side to make a packet. Poke holes with a fork and place on the grill. Close the cover to let smoke accumulate.
  • Open the grill and lightly oil the foil.
  • Cook the salmon skewers for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until fish is opaque in color. Plate the salmon skewers and sprinkle with parsley. Serve hot.

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.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest salmon possible. Fresh salmon will have a bright pink color and a firm texture. Avoid salmon that is dull in color or has a slimy texture.
  • Soak the salmon skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help to prevent the salmon from drying out.
  • Season the salmon skewers with your favorite seasonings. Some popular seasonings for salmon include lemon pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and chili powder.
  • Grill the salmon skewers over medium heat for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through. The salmon is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Serve the salmon skewers immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for salmon include rice, roasted vegetables, and grilled pineapple.

Conclusion:

Grilled salmon skewers are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be cooked in just a few minutes. Salmon is a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and other nutrients. It is also a versatile fish that can be cooked in a variety of ways.
