Ingredients

  • 1 1 1/2-lb fillet salmon, chopped into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 large lemons sliced
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper

For Serving:

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high.
  • Thread the chopped salmon and lemon slices through metal skewers (note: you can also use wooden skewers - just be sure to soak them for at least 15 minutes in water before using them).
  • Generously coat the skewers with avocado oil using a kitchen brush. Sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, and/or any seasonings you like.
  • Place skewers on the preheated grill and grill until golden-brown grill marks appear, about 2 minutes. Carefully flip using tongs and grill another 2 minutes. Flip again and continue grilling until salmon is opaque and cooked through (this should take 5 to 8 minutes total).
  • Serve salmon skewers with cooked quinoa, cherry tomatoes, and a drizzle of pesto sauce.
