Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 garlic clove, minced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 red onion, cut into chunks
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Soaked wooden skewers
Directions
- In a bowl, toss the salmon cubes with olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Build the skewers by alternating salmon, zucchini, and red onion pieces.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 3–4 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and lightly charred.
- While the skewers cook, mix the Greek yogurt, dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth and fully combined.
- Drizzle the creamy dill sauce over the skewers and finish with extra fresh dill before serving.
Pro Tips:
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to help prevent burning.
- Cut the salmon and vegetables into similar-sized pieces so everything cooks evenly.
- Serve with grilled pita, rice, or a fresh summer salad for an easy backyard dinner spread.
