Salmon Teriyaki Kebabs Recipes

MEDITERRANEAN SALMON KABOBS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients of extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and zest, garlic, oregano, thyme, cumin, Aleppo pepper and coriander.
• Place salmon pieces, zucchini and onions in a large mixing bowl. Season with kosher salt and pepper, and toss briefly. Now 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 (see Cook's Tip)
• 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.)
• Heat an outdoor grill (indoor grilling instructions in notes). 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 (using tongs is the best way to turn the salmon skewers)

TERIYAKI SALMON KEBABS

Steps:

• Whisk together the mirin, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic and 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar in a large bowl. Transfer 1/2 cup of the marinade to a small saucepan and set aside. Add the salmon to the bowl with the remaining marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Stir to combine the cornstarch and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl, then add to the reserved marinade in the saucepan along with the remaining 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Bring to a boil and cook until the mixture thickens to a glaze consistency, 4 to 5 minutes. (You should have about 1/2 cup.) Reserve half of the sauce for serving and the other half for basting.
• Have ready eight 12-inch metal skewers or soak eight 12-inch wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the bell pepper to a large microwave-safe bowl, then add a splash of water and a pinch of salt. Cover and microwave until the pepper is just tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool.
• Remove the salmon from the marinade. Thread the salmon onto the skewers, alternating with the pineapple and bell pepper.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the pan with oil.
• Grill the kebabs, turning occasionally and brushing with half of the reserved teriyaki sauce, until the salmon is opaque throughout and the vegetables are tender, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate, sprinkle with some sesame seeds and scallions and serve the other reserved teriyaki sauce alongside.

TERIYAKI SALMON SKEWERS

Steps:

• Whisk together soy and hoisin sauces, vinegar and garlic in a bowl.
• Slice salmon fillet across the grain into thin strips. Add to soy mixture and let stand for 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
• Thread each salmon strip onto small metal or soaked wooden skewers. Place skewers on baking sheet and broil, turning and basting with marinade once, for about 4 minutes or until golden and fish flakes easily when tested. Alternatively, cook skewers on oiled grill pan on grill.
• Before serving, sprinkle with green onion and sesame seeds, if using.
