Instructions
Cut the salmon filet into 2” cubes, leaving the skin on. Turn on the indoor grill to high or turn on the broiler to high to preheat.
1 1/2 pounds salmon filet
Add the oil to a large bowl and use a microplane to zest a lemon into the bowl. Juice the lemon and add to the bowl
1/3 cup olive oil, 2 lemons
If you have one, use a mortar and pestle to grind together the thyme leaves, garlic, spice blend and salt. If you don’t have a mortar and pestle, just smash them all together with the back of the knife. Smashing will bring out the oils from the thyme leaves and add more flavor. When done add to the bowl of oil and lemon and mix together
2-3 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, 2-3 cloves garlic, 1-2 teaspoon fish spice blend, 1 teaspoon salt
Add salmon cubes to the bowl to marinate for 15-20 minutes. While it is marinating, prep the vegetables that you plan to use on the skewer by cutting or slicing into bite size pieces
12 cherry tomatoes, 1 small zucchini, 1 small Radicchio
Thread salmon cubes and vegetables on the skewers, alternating ingredients as you please. Place the skewers on the grill or under the broiler for about 5 minutes. It does not take long for salmon and veggies to cook. Don’t overcook.
Serve with rice or cauliflower rice and your favorite dipping sauce.
