Skewers are one of my favourite summer style foods. Any protein added with vegetables makes for a healthy and fun way to eat a meal.
Ingredients:
2 ounces salmon fillet
½ each of a red, green, yellow, and orange bell pepper
¼ large red onion
2 Tbsp olive oil
Salt and fresh cracked black pepper
1 lemon for serving
Directions:
Take the wooden skewers and prepare them to minimize the chance of splinters. Do this by soaking the skewers for 30 minutes in water.
Cut the salmon into 1½ inch chunks. You are going to need approximately 12 pieces.
Cut the peppers into 1½ inch square pieces
Cut the red onion into similar sized chunks and separate the layers.
Thread your skewers alternately with the onions and peppers, and then the salmon. Leave some room at the base so you can handle them easily.
Brush the skewers liberally on both sides with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and fresh ground black pepper.
Cook on a hot grill, turning once, until the fish is cooked through and the veggies are softened a bit. Don’t overcook!
Serve with a squeeze of lemon.
Serves: 4
