Grilled salmon kabobs will wow your friends and family and are loaded with nutrients!
Ingredients
- 1 1 1/2-lb fillet salmon chopped into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 large lemons sliced
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
For Serving:
- cooked quinoa
- pesto sauce*
- cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high.
- Thread the chopped salmon and lemon slices through metal skewers (note: you can also use wooden skewers - just be sure to soak them for at least 15 minutes in water before using them).
- Generously coat the skewers with avocado oil using a kitchen brush. Sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, and/or any seasonings you like.
- Place skewers on the preheated grill and grill until golden-brown grill marks appear, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip using tongs and grill another 2 minutes. Flip again and continue grilling until salmon is opaque and cooked through (this should take 5 to 8 minutes total).
- Serve salmon skewers with cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, and a drizzle of pesto sauce.
