Ingredients
- 400 grams salmon fillets, skinless
- 300 grams large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 300 grams scallops
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium red onion, diced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon oregano, dried
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 8 pieces wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning while grilling.
Cut salmon into 2-inch chunks and pat dry with a paper towel. Prepare shrimp and scallops by ensuring they are dry and ready for marinating.
In a large bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add salmon chunks, shrimp, and scallops to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
While the seafood marinates, prepare the vegetables by dicing the red bell pepper, red onion, and slicing the zucchini into rounds.
Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and brush it lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
Assemble the skewers by threading a combination of salmon, shrimp, scallops, bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini onto each skewer. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the seafood is opaque and cooked through, and the vegetables are slightly charred.
Remove skewers from the grill and optionally garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm with a side of tzatziki, pita bread, or a fresh Greek salad for a delicious meal.
