    Salmon Kabobs

    Salmon kabobs are one of our favorite ways to enjoy a healthy and tasty meal!

    I love that they are super easy to prepare and can be cooked quickly, making them perfect for busy weeknight meals.

    We serve them up on a bed of rice, with air fried baby potatoes and veggies, or with a big salad.

    Salmon is a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, making it a healthy addition to any meal, so I try to include it in our weekly meal plan whenever I can!

    If you also love salmon, be sure to try Salmon Patties or Salmon with Mushroom Sauce. If you're a seafood fan, Garlic Butter Boiled Scallops are a winner!

    Still wondering if this recipe is for you? Well, salmon kabobs can be jazzed up with a variety of spices and marinades, allowing you to customize them to your tastes.

    They're also great with a dipping sauce, drizzle of yogurt or a kick of sriracha!

    Ingredients

    • Salmon - You'll need salmon fillets for these kabobs. If using frozen, please defrost first. You'll also need to remove the skin, then cut it into chunky cubes.
    • Zucchini - leave the skin on and cut it into slices.
    • Red Bell Pepper - another Mediterranean vegetable, cut into squares that can be threaded onto the kabob skewers.
    • Red Onion - We prefer red onion to yellow onion for these skewers.
    • Oil - use olive oil or canola, both help the salmon and veggies to cook.
    • Herbs and Spices - Mixed Italian herbs, paprika, and salt - they all give a great flavor to the salmon.
    • Lemon Juice - Zesty lemon really 'lifts' the flavor of the fish and vegetables.

      Spotted these on pinterest and thought, why haven't I thought of this before?? I love salmon, so we LOVED these delicious kabobs! They were so good with steamed vegetables. I try to eat fish a few times a week, but just putting them on sticks made it feel like a totally different meal.

      We loved this! It was a perfect simple and delicious dinner and so glad that's healthy too! And my kids are all about the kabobs, but they wouldn't eat the onions ha ha 🙂 I served it with potato salad.
