Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs salmon (skinless and bones removed) Fresh seafood, tender and juicy.
  • 3 tbsp honey Adds natural sweetness.
  • 2 tbsp olive oil Prevents sticking to the grill.
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar Offers a tangy contrast.
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos Soy sauce alternative with a sweet flavor.
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced) Introduces aromatic kick.
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger Infuses warmth and spice.
  • 1/4 tsp salt Elevates flavors.
  • 1/4 tsp pepper Adds subtle warmth.
  • 2 tbsp chopped scallions For freshness and color.
  • 1 tsp white sesame seeds Adds a nutty crunch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cut the salmon into cubes approximately 1½ – 2 inches in size.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour 2/3 of the marinade over the salmon cubes, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate for 20 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Simmer the remaining 1/3 of the marinade in a small pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until thickened, then remove from heat.
  2. Preheat the grill to high temperature.
  3. Thread the marinated salmon pieces onto skewers, avoiding overcrowding.
  4. Grill the skewers for about 4 minutes per side, brushing regularly with leftover marinade.
  5. Once cooked, remove from the grill and brush with the thickened sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.
  6. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Consider adding colorful vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to skewers.
