Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by soaking wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
2. Shallots:
- Peel the shallots and cut them into quarters.
- Rinse the salmon fillet under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Cut the salmon into roughly 1-inch cubes, making sure the pieces are relatively uniform in size for even cooking.
- Cut one of the limes into thin slices and set aside.
- Zest and juice the remaining lime.
5. Marinade:
- In a large bowl, combine the lime zest, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. You can also add a tablespoon of olive oil and a few minced garlic cloves if desired.
- Toss the salmon cubes in the marinade until they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the salmon cubes, shallot quarters, and lime slices onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between them. You should have a nice mix on each skewer.
- Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
- Once the salmon is cooked, remove the skewers from the grill.
- Serve the kebabs hot with additional lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
- Garnish with chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for added freshness.
- Serve with a side of rice, a fresh garden salad, or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
Tips:
- Use fresh salmon for the best flavor and texture.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- Cut the salmon into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Marinate the salmon in lime juice and shallots for at least 30 minutes to infuse more flavor.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the kebabs.
- Brush the grill grate with oil to prevent sticking.
