Equipment

Ingredients

1 pound salmon skin and pinbones removed, and cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
½ teaspoon salt to taste
¼ teaspoon pepper to taste
¼ teaspoon garlic powder to taste
2 tablespoons fresh dill finely chopped, or 1/2 tablespoon dried dill
½ lemon juiced
avocado oil (or any oil) for the pan or grill

Instructions

Add the salmon cubes and oil to a bowl and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, dill, and lemon juice. Massage gently with clean hands and add each piece onto your wet wooden skewer.
Add a touch of avocado oil or any oil to the grill pan and let it heat up. Place the skewers onto the hot pan and make sure they sizzle.
Turn the skewers over when you see golden grill marks; the cooking time will take anywhere from 5 to 9 minutes depending on how large the salmon pieces are.
When the fish is nice and light pink in colour and flakes off easily with a fork, you know it’s ready. Don’t overcook them as they will continue cooking due to the residual heat. Enjoy!
