Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pound salmon filet chopped into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 large lemons sliced
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- pesto sauce*
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400 degrees Fahrenheit). If using a charcoal grill, heat the grills in a charcoal chimney 20 minutes ahead of time.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the salmon into 1.5 to 2-inch cubes. Transfer the salmon cubes to a mixing bowl along with the avocado oil, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the chunks of salmon are coated with oil and seasonings.
- Thread the chopped salmon and lemon slices through metal skewers. Note: you can also use wooden skewers - just be sure to soak them in water for at least 15 minutes before using them.
- 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). Salmon is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Insert a digital thermometer into the biggest piece of salmon to check for doneness.
- Serve salmon skewers with your choice of side dishes and a drizzle of pesto sauce.
Notes
*Use store-bought pesto sauce, or my homemade Basil Pesto or Low-FODMAP Pesto Sauce.
