Equipment

  • 1 Grill preheated to medium-high
  • 8 wooden skewers soaked in water
  • 1 bowl for marinating

Ingredients
  

Marinade

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated

Salmon Skewers

  • 1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets cut into cubes
  • Salt and pepper to taste

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.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  • Thread the marinated salmon pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.

Serving

  • Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, brushing with additional marinade during the last minute of cooking.
  • 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.

Notes

Pro Tips: Be sure to soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Ingredient Substitutions: If you prefer, you can use maple syrup instead of honey for a different flavor profile. How to Serve: These skewers are delicious served with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh garden salad. Storage & Freshness: Store leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for the best taste and freshness. Make-Ahead Tips: You can prepare the marinade ahead of time and keep it refrigerated until ready to use.
