Servings: 4 servings

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

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.

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.
