Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2/3 pound fresh salmon
  • 1215 zucchini slices
  • 10 bell pepper squares
  • 1/4 red onion (sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/3 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1/3 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1/3 teaspoon dried parsley
  • Salad greens, for accompanying

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 360F, and lightly brush a large baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or oil.
  2. Cut Salmon into Pieces: Remove the skin from the salmon slices, remove the bones and cut the fish into small pieces, about 1 inch on a side. Put them in a large bowl.
  3. Marinate Salmon: Add half the salt, half the spices and lemon juice to the salmon pieces. Mix well and let the salmon marinate for 10 minutes.
  4. Marinate Veggies: Put the slices of zucchini, bell pepper and red onion in another bowl, add olive oil, remaining salt, spices and herbs. Mix and let sit for 10 minutes.
  5. Thread Salmon and Veggies on Skewers: Thread the pieces of salmon on wooden skewers, alternating them with pieces of vegetables. About 4-5 pieces of salmon per skewer.
  6. Place on Baking Dish: Transfer the kabobs to the previously greased baking pan.
  7. Bake Until Cooked: Bake the salmon skewers for 15 minutes until cooked through but still juicy.
  8. Serve with Greens and Enjoy: Serve the finished salmon kabobs immediately, with fish sauces and a salad mix.

Notes

Salmon: Make sure to remove the bones and skin from the salmon and to cut the salmon into equally sized cubes so the salmon cooks evenly. I used fresh salmon, but you can also use frozen salmon (just make sure to thaw the salmon before cutting).

Zucchini: I used zucchini, but feel free to use summer squash if you prefer.

Bell Peppers: I used red bell peppers, but feel free to use a mix of red, green or yellow bell peppers to get a variety of color.

Onion: Red onions give a nice pop of color, but you can also use yellow onion or white onion too.

Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice gives the salmon a fresh citrusy taste. Alternatively, you can use lime juice or orange juice too.

Olive Oil: I like using extra virgin olive oil for its taste, but you can also use another vegetable oil (such as avocado oil, sunflower oil, corn oil).

Salt: I used normal table salt, but feel free to use fine sea salt or fine Himalayan pink salt too.

Paprika: I like adding ground paprika for a little heat. Alternatively, you can also use chili powder, cayenne powder, or ground black pepper if you prefer.

Granulated Garlic: Garlic adds a lovely flavor to these baked salmon kabobs. You can either use granulated garlic or garlic powder.

Dried Parsley: I like adding a bit of dried parsley for flavor, but you may also use other dried herbs, such as rosemary, oregano, or cilantro.

Storing: To store, place any leftover salmon skewers in a large airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before eating.
