Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb Salmon filet cut into 2” cubes
- ⅓ cup Olive oil
- 2 Lemons; 1 is zested and then juiced, 1 is sliced and halved for the skewer
- 2-3 tsp Fresh thyme leaves
- 2-3 cloves Minced garlic
- 1-2 tsp Fish spice blend alternative: old bay, mild or spicy Chile pepper spice
- 1 tsp Salt
- 12 Cherry tomatoes
- 1 small Zucchini sliced into 1” rounds
- 1 small Radicchio torn and folded into thick squares for the skewer
Instructions
- Cut the salmon filet into 2-inch cubes, leaving the skin attached.
- Preheat the indoor grill or broiler on high.
- Add lemon juice to combine oil and lemon zest in a large bowl. If you have a mortar and pestle, grind the thyme leaves, garlic, spice blend, and salt. If not, mash them with the back of a knife.
- This process helps release the oils from the thyme leaves and enhances the flavor. Add the mixture to the bowl of oil and lemon, and stir well.
- Marinate the salmon cubes in the bowl for 15-20 minutes. While the salmon is marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting them into bite-size pieces.
- Thread the salmon cubes and vegetables onto skewers, alternating ingredients as desired.
- Cook the skewers on the grill or under the broiler for about 5 minutes, not overcooking them. Serve the skewers with rice or cauliflower rice and your preferred dipping sauce.
