Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon fillet, skinless
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 8 wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Cut the salmon fillet into 1 1/2-inch cubes and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, lime juice, minced garlic, and minced ginger to create the marinade.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade for basting during cooking.
Place the salmon cubes in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, and pour the remaining marinade over them. Toss to coat evenly, then refrigerate for at least 15 minutes while preparing the vegetables.
In a mixing bowl, toss the bell pepper chunks, zucchini rounds, and pineapple chunks with olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Assemble the kabobs by threading the marinated salmon cubes, bell peppers, zucchini, and pineapple chunks alternately onto the skewers. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved marinade, until the salmon is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.
Remove the kabobs from the grill and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
