Grilled to perfection, these kebabs offer a perfect balance of smoky char and sticky glaze, making them an impressive yet easy meal ideal for a quick dinner or summer cookout.

Ingredients

Glaze

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup honey
  • Juice of ½ lemon

Kebabs

  • Neutral cooking oil, to grease the pan
  • 2 pounds salmon, sliced into 1-inch squares
  • 2 yellow bell peppers, chopped into 1-inch squares
  • 2 red bell peppers, chopped into 1-inch squares
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped into 1-inch squares
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ cup finely chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter and olive oil. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Finish the glaze: Add the honey and lemon juice to the pan. Whisk continuously while cooking until the mixture thickens and becomes bubbly, approximately 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Preheat the grill: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. If using a grill pan, brush the grates lightly with neutral cooking oil immediately after preheating to prevent sticking.
  4. Assemble the kebabs: Thread the salmon pieces alternately with yellow and red bell peppers and yellow onion onto skewers, ensuring there are no gaps between pieces. Season the skewers evenly with salt and pepper.
  5. Grill the kebabs: Place the assembled kebabs on the grill, spacing them evenly. Using a basting brush, generously apply the garlic-honey glaze to the kebabs. Cook without moving until the first side is nicely browned, about 8 minutes.
  6. Flip and glaze: Turn the kebabs over and brush the exposed side again with the glaze. Continue cooking, turning and rotating as needed to achieve even cooking and glazing, about 8 minutes more, until the salmon is cooked through.
  7. Serve: Remove the cooked kebabs from the grill and sprinkle with finely chopped parsley. Serve warm for a flavorful and colorful meal.

Notes

  • To avoid sticking, ensure the grill or grill pan is well oiled before cooking.
  • You can soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning on the grill.
  • Adjust cooking times slightly if salmon pieces are larger or smaller than 1-inch squares.
  • For a spicier glaze, add a pinch of chili flakes or cayenne pepper when cooking the garlic.
  • Serve with rice, salad, or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
