Summertime eats: Salmon Lemon Skewers 

I have been on a barbecue kick ever since it’s been so warm outside here in California. I love to make all my meal prep for the week on the grill because it just has such amazing flavor and you can do so much variety easily. I also have been working on getting my patio back and ready for entertaining because it’s so fun to have people over and barbecue!

What you need:

1.5lbs salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch squares ( I used three of the Meats2U salmon fillet’s from their members pack
1 large lemons thinly sliced
16 (10-inch) bamboo skewers

Marinade brush 

Foil

Ingredients for Marinade:

2 Tbsp parsley, freshly chopped
2 large or 3 small garlic cloves chopped 

1/2 Tbsp Dijon mustard 

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 


Directions:

1. Stir together all the ingredients for the marinade in a small bowl. Set aside 

2. Take the cubed salmon and alternate between a thinly slice lemon and a piece of salmon onto the Skewers.

3. Set the Skewers on a piece of foil on a cooking sheet for easy cleanup and coat them with the marinade. It is much easier to use a marinade brush to coat the skewers but if you have to you can use a spoon to spoon the mixture on top. Coat both sides. 

4. Carefully place salmon skewers onto the hot BBQ. Grill kebobs for 3-4 minutes per side or until salmon is cooked through and opaque.


Next time: I will use to bamboo sticks to make it easier to turn them and also soak them in water at least 30 minutes prior to so that they don’t catch on fire! Other than that it was delicious!
