Tips & Tricks
The variety of salmon you use can make a big difference in flavor! I used Scottish Salmon for this recipe, which is higher in fat and less oily than other varieties. Norwegian Salmon is also a great choice.
If you're using wooden skewers like me, give them a quick soak in some water for a few minutes before loading them up. This will help ensure the sticks don't get charred on the grill! I use these wooden skewers.
Chop your salmon and veggies into larger than bite sized pieces. Think "two bite" sized. If the pieces are too small, they tend to fall of the skewers on the grill.
Variation
You can use any veggies you like for these kebabs. I used zucchini, bell peppers, and red onion. Other good choices are summer squash, shiitake mushrooms, or even grape tomatoes. You could even add some halloumi cheese!
Any marinade would work just fine with this base recipe. The homemade teriyaki sauce is light and flavorful. But you could also use a barbecue sauce or vinaigrette for a completely different flavor profile. Or top the skewers with a fresh chimichurri sauce.
