Grilled Lemon Salmon Kabobs
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 1/2 pounds skinless salmon fillets cubed
- 1/2 medium red onion cut into 4 wedges
- 1 large lemon cut into 4 wedges
- bamboo skewers or metal
Instructions
- DO-AHEAD TIP: If using bamboo skewers, presoak them in water for 30 minutes, to prevent burning on the grill.
- Preheat grill to MEDIUM.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together first 6 ingredients (olive oil through chili powder). Add salmon and onion then gently toss.
- Alternately thread salmon cubes, onion and lemon wedges onto skewers. Place skewers on the grill; cook for 5 minutes per side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
