Quick and simple to make, these salmon pesto skewers can be cooked on the grill (grill pan or sauté pan) for a delicious summer time meal. Serve with a refreshing summer corn salad. The flavors can’t be beat!

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1-2 lemons, sliced thin
  • 1/4 cup pesto

Instructions

  1. Soak your wooden skewers for 20-30 minutes.  If you’re using metal, no need to soak.
  2. Preheat the grill pan and/or grill to medium high heat.  Clean and oil the grates with the olive oil, if necessary.
  3. Cut the ends of 1-2 lemons and thinly slice.   Cut your salmon into one-inch chunks.
  4. Thread the salmon and lemon slices (folded in half) onto the skewer sticks, alternating.
  5. Grill the salmon skewers on the grill/grill pan.  Cook until salmon is cooked through and opaque, 4 minutes per side, or to your likeness.
  6. Add a dollop of pesto to the plate and add your salmon skewer on top.  Or drizzle the pesto on the top of your skewer stick.  Served here with a corn, tomato, nectarine salad.  These salmon skewer sticks would go well with nice orzo combo for a complete meal!
