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
- Soak your wooden skewers for 20-30 minutes. If you’re using metal, no need to soak.
- Preheat the grill pan and/or grill to medium high heat. Clean and oil the grates with the olive oil, if necessary.
- Cut the ends of 1-2 lemons and thinly slice. Cut your salmon into one-inch chunks.
- Thread the salmon and lemon slices (folded in half) onto the skewer sticks, alternating.
- 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.
- 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!
