Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to whisk the marinade.
- Add the salmon cubes to the marinade and let sit for about 15 minutes.
- Thread the marinated salmon and any optional vegetables onto the skewers, keeping pieces evenly sized.
Cooking
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 2–4 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through.

Notes
Keep salmon pieces uniform to ensure even cooking. Preheat the grill well to get quick searing and prevent sticking. Don’t over-marinate; 15 minutes is enough to flavor without breaking down the fish. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
