Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Salmon fillets (skinless)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Poppy seeds
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Red onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
Cut the salmon fillets into bite-sized chunks, about 1-inch cubes, and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the salmon chunks to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables. Cut the red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into similar bite-sized pieces to match the salmon for even grilling.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the salmon chunks, red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion alternately onto the soaked wooden skewers, distributing them evenly across all skewers.
Lightly oil the grill to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the salmon is cooked through and has a slight char.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes.
Serve the poppy seed salmon kebabs warm, garnished with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired. Enjoy!
