Grilled Salmon Skewers
Description
This recipe involves marinating thick-cut salmon chunks in a mixture of pineapple and orange juices, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, liquid smoke, and seasonings. Marinating overnight allows the fish to absorb the tangy, sweet, and smoky flavors deeply. Alternated skewers with pineapple and onion pieces add texture and complementary sweetness and sharpness during grilling.
Grilling the skewers over medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes develops a caramelized surface while keeping the salmon moist inside. Resting briefly before serving ensures juiciness is retained. A garnish of parsley and a side of tartar sauce complete the presentation. These skewers are suitable for casual dinners or cookouts.
