Main Ingredients
- 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 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, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors infuse. Meanwhile, soak wooden skewers in water to prevent burning during grilling.
- Assemble the Kabobs: Thread the marinated salmon cubes onto the soaked skewers, placing a thin lemon slice between each salmon piece. Aim for about 5 salmon cubes per kabob for even cooking.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to high heat. Place a grill grate or a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil on the grill surface to prevent sticking and aid even cooking.
- Grill the Kabobs: Place the assembled salmon kabobs on the grill and cook for 10 minutes, turning once halfway through to brown both sides evenly. Ensure salmon is cooked through but remains moist and tender.
Notes
- Soaking wooden skewers prevents them from burning on the grill.
- You can substitute soy sauce with tamari for a gluten-free option.
- Adjust the crushed red pepper flakes to control the spiciness level.
- Serve kabobs with a fresh salad or rice for a complete meal.
