Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into chunks
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into squares
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into squares
- 1 red onion, cut into chunks
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried oregano or dill (optional)
- Skewers (wooden or metal)
Instructions
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and optional herbs to make the marinade.
- Add the salmon chunks to the marinade and toss to coat. Marinate for 15–30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread salmon and vegetables alternately onto the skewers.
- Grill the kabobs for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until salmon is opaque and cooked through and vegetables are slightly charred.

Notes
Use shrimp or chicken instead of salmon for a protein variation.Add cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, or pineapple for extra flavor and color.Can be baked in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes if grilling is not an option.Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven or skillet for best texture.
