Ingredients

Yogurt Feta Sauce
  • 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • black pepper freshly ground
Souvlaki Salmon Skewers
  • 1 ½ pounds salmon cut into 1-inch cubes (if salmon has skin, leave it on, it will peel off easily after grilling, fillets
  • 1 lemon sliced into 1/4 inch thick rounds
  • 3 bell pepper sliced into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 red onion sliced into 1 inch pieces
  • metal skewers 8-10
  • black pepper
  • salt
  • To serve:
  • pita bread
  • lemon wedges

Instructions

Yogurt-Feta Sauce:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the feta cheese in a medium bowl. Mash with the back of a fork until it is in small, uniform crumbles. Add the remaining ingredients, and stir to combine.
  2. Set aside.
Souvlaki Salmon Skewers:
  1. Pre-heat barbecue over medium-high.
  2. Assemble skewers with a mixture of salmon cubes, lemon slices, and bell pepper and onion pieces. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. Spray barbecue with spray oil (don't be shy, you don't want the salmon to stick to the grill!).
  4. Arrange the skewers on the grill, and cook with the lid down for 4 minutes.
  5. Gently pry the skewers from the grill (the salmon may stick slightly, but should come off with a bit of teasing), and flip over. Put the lid down, and cook for another 4-6 minutes, until salmon is cooked through and flakes with a fork.
  6. Serve immediately with pita bread and lemon wedges.
