Here's a little trick: Thread salmon pieces onto two skewers so they don't flip and spin every time you turn them on the grill.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    25 minutes

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 pounds skinless salmon fillet (preferably wild), cut into 1" pieces
2 lemons, very thinly sliced into rounds
2 tablespoons olive oil

Special Equipment

16 bamboo skewers soaked in water 1 hour

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare grill for medium heat. Mix oregano, sesame seeds, cumin, salt, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl to combine; set spice mixture aside.

    Step 2

    Beginning and ending with salmon, thread salmon and folded lemon slices onto 8 pairs of parallel skewers to make 8 kebabs total. Brush with oil and season with reserved spice mixture.

    Step 3

    Grill, turning occasionally, until fish is opaque throughout, 5-8 minutes.
