Salmon Kabobs
- 2 pounds salmon, cubed
- 2 lemons, thinly sliced
Marinade
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
- 2 teaspoons capers
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, water, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, sesame seeds, capers, ground cumin, dried oregano, coarse salt, and crushed red pepper flakes until well combined.
- Marinate the Salmon: Add the cubed salmon to the marinade, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse. Meanwhile, soak wooden skewers in water to prevent burning during grilling.
- Assemble the Kabobs: Thread salmon cubes onto each skewer, placing a thin lemon slice between each piece. Aim for about 5 salmon cubes per kabob to ensure even cooking.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to high heat and add a grill grate or a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Grill the Kabobs: Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 10 minutes total, turning once halfway through to evenly brown and cook both sides of the salmon.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the kabobs from the grill and serve immediately with your choice of side dishes or a fresh salad.

- Use fresh lemons for best flavor in the marinade and assembly.

- Ensure the salmon pieces are evenly sized for consistent cooking.
- Adjust red pepper flakes according to your heat preference.
