Ingredients
- 8 wooden skewers
- 2 lbs sockeye salmon, or another fresh salmon of your choice
- 3-4 lemons
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 Persian Cucumber, thinly sliced
- juice of 1 lemon plus more if needed
- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 2 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least and hour.
- Heat your grill to medium high heat.
- Cut the salmon into 1 inch cubes and slice 3 of the lemons into very thin slices either with a sharp knife or with a mandolin.
- Alternate threading the salmon and the lemon slices on the wooden skewers, about 5-6 pieces of salmon per skewer. Drizzle the skewers with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Squeeze 1/2 of the remaining lemon juice on top.
- Using a pair of tongs, carefully transfer the salmon skewers to the preheated grill and grill for about 3 minutes on each side until the salmon is almost fully cooked through. Remove the salmon skewers from the grill and let rest for about 5 minutes to let the salmon just continue to cook.
- Serve the salmon skewers with the Basil Vinaigrette and extra lemons if desired.
