Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon fillet
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
- 1 medium red onion, cut into chunks
- 10 pieces wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
Cut the salmon fillet into 1-inch cubes, ensuring all pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, paprika, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Add the salmon cubes to the marinade, tossing gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for better flavor.
While the salmon is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Cut the red bell pepper, zucchini, and onion into skewer-sized chunks.
Thread the marinated salmon cubes alternately with the bell pepper, zucchini, and onion onto the soaked wooden skewers. Ensure each skewer has a balanced mix of ingredients.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes to cook evenly. The salmon should be opaque and slightly charred, and the vegetables tender-crisp.
Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon.
