Ingredients

• 1 pound salmon fillet
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 medium zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
• 1 medium red onion, cut into chunks
• 10 pieces wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Directions

Step 1

Cut the salmon fillet into 1-inch cubes, ensuring all pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, paprika, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the salmon cubes to the marinade, tossing gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for better flavor.

Step 4

While the salmon is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Cut the red bell pepper, zucchini, and onion into skewer-sized chunks.

Step 5

Thread the marinated salmon cubes alternately with the bell pepper, zucchini, and onion onto the soaked wooden skewers. Ensure each skewer has a balanced mix of ingredients.

Step 6

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes to cook evenly. The salmon should be opaque and slightly charred, and the vegetables tender-crisp.

Step 8

Remove the skewers from the grill and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon.
