Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams chicken breast
- 200 grams salmon fillet
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 medium red onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 8 bamboo skewers
Instructions
Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Dice the chicken breast and salmon fillet into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Cut the red bell pepper and zucchini into 1-inch pieces. Halve and quarter the red onion and separate the layers. Add the vegetables to the mixing bowl with the proteins.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin powder, paprika, black pepper, and sea salt to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the chicken, salmon, and vegetables in the large bowl. Toss everything together until well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken, salmon, and vegetables onto the soaked skewers, alternating between the proteins and vegetables for variety.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving.
Serve the heart-healthy mixed kebabs warm, alongside a side of whole-grain couscous or quinoa if desired.
