Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 g Salmon fillet (skinless, boneless)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Honey
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 200 g Red cabbage (shredded)
- 1 medium Carrot (shredded)
- 2 stalks Green onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 tbsp Cilantro (chopped)
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 6 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.
Cut the salmon fillet into bite-sized cubes, approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch) pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, salt, and black pepper. This will be the marinade.
Place the salmon cubes in a shallow dish or zip-top bag, then pour the marinade over them. Cover and marinate in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
While the salmon is marinating, prepare the slaw. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded red cabbage, shredded carrot, green onion, and chopped cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and sugar until smooth. Pour this dressing over the slaw and toss well to combine. Set aside.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated salmon cubes onto the soaked skewers, dividing them evenly.
Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the salmon is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
Serve the salmon skewers hot alongside the prepared slaw. Enjoy your delicious and healthy meal!
