- Ingredients:
- For the salmon skewers:
- 1 lb salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or dill, for garnish (optional)
- For the creamy dill yogurt sauce:
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the salmon skewers:
Directions:
- Prepare the salmon skewers: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread the salmon cubes onto metal or soaked wooden skewers, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the marinade over the salmon skewers, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. Let the salmon marinate for 10-15 minutes.
- Grill the salmon: Place the salmon skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and slightly charred on the outside. Be careful not to overcook, as salmon cooks quickly.
- Prepare the creamy dill yogurt sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, chopped dill, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Serve: Once the salmon skewers are grilled, remove them from the skewers and arrange them on a serving platter. Drizzle with the creamy dill yogurt sauce and garnish with fresh parsley or dill if desired. Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.
