Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb salmon, skin removed cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • salt to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 tbsp salted butter melted
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp parsley or mixed herbs chopped; or use a mix of oregano, thyme, and chives

Instructions

  • Cut the salmon into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes and place them in a bowl.
  • Toss the salmon with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
  • Thread about three salmon cubes onto each skewer, leaving a little space between pieces for even cooking.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, melted butter, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and the chopped parsley or mixed herbs until combined.
  • Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Grill the skewers about 1 to 2 minutes per side, turning gently with tongs, until the salmon is cooked through and opaque.
  • Transfer the cooked salmon kebabs to a platter and drizzle the garlic butter mixture over them. Serve immediately.

Equipment

  • Grill or Grill Pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Skewers
  • small bowl or measuring cup (for butter mixture)

Notes

  • If using bamboo skewers, soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  • If you don’t have a grill, cook the kebabs on a grill pan.
