Easy cottage recipe that isn't burgers & hot dogs? We've got you covered!
Our Lemon Salmon Skewers are just as easy, but about 100x more sophisticated than your average lake side lunch. Don't get us wrong, we love a classic burger, but when you have guests - sometimes it's worth stepping it up a notch.
For this recipe, it's all in the prep work - which you can easily do prior to leaving home on the Friday, making the day of as simple as throwing them in a pan or on the grill!
Ingredients (for 8):
2 lb salmon cut into 1-inch cubes
8 lemons cut into slices
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp pepper
3 large cloves of garlic, minced or grated
Freshly chopped parsley for garnish
How to:
1. If you are using wooden skewers, soak skewers in water for 15 minutes prior to cooking.
2. Cut salmon into 1inch cubes, and cut lemons into 1/4 inch slides. Begin assembling your skewers by alternating cubes of salmon and lemon slices. Repeat until all salmon is used.
3. In a small mixing bowl, combine: melted butter, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano. Using a basting brush, begin coating the skewers with your mixture.
4. Depending on your plan for service, you can either pop these straight into a pan or on the grill - or, when your marinade for salmon is not acid based (like this one) you can marinate the fish for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator. So feel free to prep these the day befor or in the am!
5. Bring your grill or pan to a medium-high heat. Add skewers to the grill or grill pan, once hot. Cook for approximately 1 to 2 minutes per side, until salmon reaches medium-rare.
Serve with a delicious grainy mustard, tsaziki, extra lemon, or all of the above!
