Ingredients:
- 1 pound of OceanBox salmon fillets, skin removed
- 1/4 cup of teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of sesame oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger, grated
- 1 bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 red onion, cut into chunks
- 1 zucchini, sliced into rounds
- Skewers (wooden or metal)
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Chopped green onions for garnish
To start, cut the salmon into bite-sized cubes. In a mixing bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. This marinade will infuse the salmon with incredible flavor. Add the salmon cubes to the marinade and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. If you have time, marinating for a few hours in the refrigerator will enhance the taste even more.
While the salmon is marinating, prepare your vegetables. The bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini not only add color to your skewers but also provide a nice crunch that complements the tender salmon. If you’re using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Once the salmon has marinated and your vegetables are ready, it’s time to assemble the skewers. Alternate threading the salmon and vegetables onto the skewers. This not only looks beautiful but also allows the flavors to meld together while grilling.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally. The salmon should be cooked through and flake easily with a fork. Keep an eye on the skewers to ensure they don’t burn.
When the skewers are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Before serving, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
