Part of our Greek menu. Prep time: 10 minutes; Cook time: 10 minutes; Total time: 25 minutes.

Grilled salmon kabobs, prepared Mediterranean-style with a garlic marinade, zucchini and onions. Serve with tzatziki if desired.

Ingredients

• For kabobs
  • 1.5 lb Salmon fillet, cut into cubes approximately 1-inch to 1-½ inch or so in size
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into rounds
  • 1 small red onion, cut into squares
  • Kosher salt and pepper
• For Marinade
  • ¼ cup to ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 tsp dry oregano
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp mild chili pepper
  • ½ tsp ground coriander

Directions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients of extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, oregano, thyme, cumin, chili pepper and coriander.
2. Place salmon pieces, zucchini and onions in a large mixing bowl. Season with kosher salt and pepper, and toss briefly.
3. Pour the marinade over the salmon and toss again to make sure the salmon is well coated with the marinade. Let the fish marinate for about 15 to 20 minutes
4. Beginning with salmon, thread salmon, zucchini and onions through skewers (if using wooden skewers, be sure to have soaked them for 30 minutes before using.)
5. Heat an outdoor grill. Arrange salmon skewers on top and cover the grill. Grill salmon kabobs for 6 to 8 minute, covered, or until the fish is opaque throughout, turning once midway through cooking

Notes

Broiling Instructions: Heat oven broiler. Arrange salmon skewers on a large baking sheet and place about 5 to 6 inches below broiler. Cook on one side for 4 to 5 minutes, turn over and cook another 4 minute or so or until fish is opaque throughout.
