Ingredients
1 1/2 – 2 lbs boneless/skinless salmon (cut into 1-inch pieces)
2+ lemons (sliced)
Juice from 1/2 of a lemon
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp lemon pepper
Wooden skewers (soaked in water for about 15 minutes)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the juice from half of a lemon, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and lemon pepper. Stir to mix everything together.
-
Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon pieces in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon and toss gently to coat. Let marinate in the fridge for 15-30 minutes.
-
Prepare the Skewers: While marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, skip this step.
-
Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated salmon pieces onto the soaked skewers, alternating with lemon slices.
-
Grill the Skewers: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
-
Serve: Remove from the grill and serve with additional lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
If you don’t have skewers, you can grill the salmon fillets directly on the grill.
You can prepare the marinade ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 2 days.
For added flavor, try alternating salmon with vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini.
