Ingredients
Salmon Skewers
- 1.5 pounds of salmon filet skin removed and cut into 1 ½ inch cubes
- 2 Tbsp refined olive oil or melted tallow
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning
Cilantro Mayo
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- ½ cup mayonnaise made with pure avocado oil olive oil, or tallow (or sub unsweetened coconut milk yogurt)
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 Tbsp lime juice
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
-
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the salmon cubes to the bowl and gently toss them until well-coated with the seasoning.
-
Thread the seasoned salmon cubes onto the skewers. Make sure not to overcrowd the skewers to ensure even cooking.
-
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the salmon is fully cooked and has a slight char on the edges.
-
While the salmon is grilling, prepare the aioli. In a food processor or blender, combine cilantro leaves, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
-
Serve the grilled salmon skewers hot with a side of cilantro aioli for dipping. Garnish with additional fresh cilantro or lime wedges if desired.
