Ingredients

• 500 grams Salmon fillets (skinless)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons Poppy seeds
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Red onion
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the salmon fillets into bite-sized chunks, about 1-inch cubes, and set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the salmon chunks to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables. Cut the red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into similar bite-sized pieces to match the salmon for even grilling.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the salmon chunks, red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion alternately onto the soaked wooden skewers, distributing them evenly across all skewers.

Step 7

Lightly oil the grill to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the salmon is cooked through and has a slight char.

Step 8

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes.

Step 9

Serve the poppy seed salmon kebabs warm, garnished with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired. Enjoy!
