Choosing Your Salmon

We recommend purchasing a fresh side of salmon and cutting it into 1-inch cubes yourself, rather than using pre-cut salmon.

If possible, always go for a fresh salmon such as Atlantic or sockeye with this recipe especially! High-quality salmon really shines in these kabobs and you can taste the difference.

Tips for Perfect Salmon Kabobs

1. Cut salmon into uniform cubes – ideally, you want the salmon in uniform 1-inch cubes so they cook at the same rate.
2. Use fresh lemon and garlic in marinade – this adds so much incredible flavor to the salmon.
3. Don’t over-marinate salmon – if you let the salmon sit too long in the marinade, the acid from the lemon juice will eventually start to break down the salmon. For best results, marinate the salmon no longer than 30 minutes.
4. Peel zucchini into ribbons – cutting the zucchini this way will cook super fast on the grill. We recommend using a standard potato peeler to cut the zucchini into ribbons and then fold the ribbons to thread onto the kabobs.
5. Thread fresh lemon slices onto kabobs – we typically don’t eat these with the kabobs since they can be a little bitter on their own, but it adds a lot of amazing extra lemon flavor to the zucchini and salmon.
6. Don’t overcook salmon – ideally, you want an internal temperature of 125-130F for the salmon which should only take a few minutes of grilling.

Recipe Variations

Try these ideas for a different twist on these kabobs!

• Try different veggies – try summer squash, sweet pepper, cherry tomatoes, or mushrooms.
• Swap proteins – this recipe will work great with steak or chicken.
• Flavor feta sauce – try adding a few shakes of hot sauce for a kick or roasted garlic for an extra garlicky flavor.

Stovetop and Oven Instructions

Don’t have a grill? You can still make this recipe using either the oven or stovetop.

• Oven: assemble the kabobs per recipe instructions and arrange on a greased sheet pan. Bake kabobs at 400F 10-12 minutes until salmon registers 125-130F.
• Stovetop: lightly grease a large nonstick skillet or a grill pan and heat over medium-high heat. Sear salmon kabobs 3-4 minutes on each side until salmon registers 125-130F.

The lemony, herby flavors really shine through in the marinated salmon and paired with the tender zucchini ribbons and tangy feta sauce for ALL the dipping, there’s just really no going wrong with these kabobs.

Unless of course you don’t pile your plate high enough.
