Spiced Salmon Kebabs
by Alison Roman for Bon Appetit
Serves 4
Thoughts turn to grilling food outdoors at this time of year. My family loves food cooked on the grill, and they love salmon, so this one is a winner for us! Served with a simple salad, maybe some couscous, or fresh fruit, this meal can come together in no time. Here's a little trick from the author: thread salmon pieces onto two skewers so they don't flip and spin every time you turn them on the grill. (Genius, right?) Enjoy summer grilling, everyone!
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 pounds skinless salmon fillet (preferably wild), cut into 1-inch pieces
2 lemons, very thinly sliced into rounds
2 tablespoons olive oil
Special Equipment:
16 bamboo skewers soaked in water 1 hour
Directions:
Prepare grill for medium heat. Mix oregano, sesame seeds, cumin, salt, 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. Brush with oil and season with reserved spice mixture.
Grill, turning occasionally, until fish is opaque throughout, 5–8 minutes.
