Jack Salmon Skewers Recipes

MEDITERRANEAN SALMON KABOBS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients of extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, oregano, thyme, cumin, Aleppo pepper and coriander.
• Place salmon pieces, zucchini and onions in a large mixing bowl. Season with kosher salt and pepper, and toss briefly. Now pour the marinade over the salmon and toss again to make sure the salmon is well coated with the marinade. Let the fish marinate for about 15 to 20 minutes (see Cook's Tip)
• Beginning with salmon, thread salmon, zucchini and onions through skewers (if using wooden skewers, be sure to have soaked them for 30 minutes before using.)
• Heat an outdoor grill (indoor grilling instructions in notes). Arrange salmon skewers on top and cover the grill. Grill salmon kabobs for 6 to 8 minute, covered, or until the fish is opaque throughout, turning once midway through cooking (using tongs is the best way to turn the salmon skewers)

GRILLED SALMON SKEWERS

Steps:

• Slice salmon lengthwise into 12 long strips, and thread each onto a soaked wooden skewer. Place in a shallow dish.
• In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and pepper. Pour over skewers, turning to coat. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. When finished marinating, transfer marinade to a small saucepan, and simmer for several minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Thread 1 lemon wedge onto the end of each skewer. Cook skewers on the preheated grill for 4 minutes per side, brushing often with marinade, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

SALMON SKEWERS WITH SMASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat broiler, with rack in top position. In a medium saucepan, bring potatoes to a boil in salted water and cook until tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, thread 3 pieces salmon onto each of eight 6-inch wooden skewers. Place skewers in a single layer on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Brush salmon with oil and season with salt and pepper. Fold foil over exposed areas of skewers to prevent burning.
• Broil salmon until opaque throughout, about 6 minutes, flipping once. Remove from oven and drizzle with honey.
• Drain potatoes. While still hot, gently smash each potato with the back of a spoon to flatten slightly and place, along with spinach and butter, in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Serve salmon skewers with potatoes and spinach.

GRILLED SALMON KEBABS

Steps:

• Heat the grill on medium heat and spray the grates with oil.
• Mix oregano, sesame seeds, cumin, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl to combine; set spice mixture aside.
• Beginning and ending with salmon, thread salmon and folded lemon slices onto 8 pairs of parallel skewers to make 8 kebabs total.
• Spray the fish lightly with oil and season kosher salt and the reserved spice mixture.
• Grill the fish, turning occasionally, until fish is opaque throughout, about 8 to 10 minutes total.

GRILLED SALMON SKEWERS WITH GARLIC AND DIJON

Steps:

• Prep: Soak bamboo skewers at least 1 hour to keep them from catching fire. Preheat Grill to medium heat (about 375˚F).
• In a medium bowl, stir together all of the marinade ingredients: 2 Tbsp chopped parsley, 2 pressed garlic cloves, 1/2 Tbsp dijon, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp pepper, 2 Tbsp olive oil, 2 Tbsp lemon juice.
• Double skewer the salmon and lemon slices folded in half intermittently onto two skewers at a time (The double skewer aids in turning the salmon kebobs on the grill). Brush both sides of skewered salmon with marinade.
• Oil the grates then carefully place salmon skewers onto the hot BBQ. Grill kebobs for 3-4 minutes per side or until salmon is cooked through and opaque.

MISO-GLAZED SALMON SKEWERS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Place the miso, dashi powder, mirin and sugar in a medium bowl and mix to combine.
• Thread the salmon onto metal skewers and place on 2 large baking sheets lined with aluminium foil. Brush each side of the salmon with the miso marinade. Cook the salmon, in 2 batches, for 4 minutes or until golden and slightly charred. Set aside and keep warm. Place the skewers on a plate with amaranth leaves and sprinkle with shichimi togarashi to serve.

SUMMER SALMON SKEWERS

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium-low heat.
• Lie the salmon in the bottom of a baking dish. Whisk together the lemon juice, wine, mint, dill, parsley, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking vigorously. Pour the mixture over the salmon. Marinate the salmon in the refrigerator for no more than 30 minutes.
• Thread the salmon onto metal or soaked wooden skewers lengthwise. Cook on preheated grill until opaque in the center, about 4 minutes per side. Serve immediately.
