This was last night’s supper, it was a beautiful night and we ate outdoors, oh how I love summer! I served this with a great big garden salad and everyone loved them – including Madison which was a happy surprise for me.
How To Make Salmon Kebabs
- If using wooden skewers you will want to soak them at least 30 minutes to avoid burning.
- I prefer to double the skewers when threading, this prevents the salmon from flipping around the stick while turning.
- You can also use thin metal skewers which saves time cooking, no need to soak.
What To Serve With Grilled Salmon
- Corn On The Cobb
- Creamy Cucumber Salad

How Long Do You Cook Salmon Kebabs on the Grill?
- Fish cooks fast! You will only need about 8 to 10 minutes on the grill total cook time.
