Ingredients
Scale
For the Kabobs
- 1 1/2 lbs (675g) skinless salmon fillets, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 large lemon, thinly sliced
For the Marinade
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Skewers & Salmon
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Cut salmon into 1½-inch cubes and slice the lemon thinly.
Step 2: Make the Marinade
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, dill, salt, and pepper.
- Add salmon cubes and toss gently to coat. Let marinate for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Assemble the Kabobs
- Thread salmon cubes and lemon slices onto soaked skewers, alternating each piece.
- Brush any remaining marinade over the skewers.
Step 4: Grill or Bake the Kabobs
Grilling Instructions:
- Preheat grill to high heat. Clean and oil the grates twice to prevent sticking.
- Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, until the salmon is cooked through and has a slight char.
Oven Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until the salmon is fully cooked.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
- Remove from heat and serve warm with extra lemon wedges and fresh dill.
Notes
- For extra char – Broil for 1-2 minutes after baking.
- For meal prep – Marinate the salmon overnight for deeper flavor.
- Serving idea – Pair with a side of grilled veggies, rice, or salad.
