- 1/4 cup olive oil

Salmon Skewers

Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, lemon juice, and grated ginger until well combined.
- Place the salmon cubes in the marinade, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

- Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with your choice of sides.
Storage
- If you have any leftovers, remove the salmon from the skewers and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- To reheat, gently warm the salmon in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave until heated through.
