PERFECT for weekend grilling!
The truth is, we use our outdoor grill year-round, even throughout the winter months. Kabobs and skewers cook well on an indoor grill as well, and they are SO fun to make for parties and get-togethers.
Each serving packs a whopping 35g of protein, making it a great option for those looking to boost their protein intake. Plus, salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health and brain function.
And the best part?
This recipe is quick and easy to make, requiring only 10 minutes of prep time and 6-8 minutes of cooking time.
🐟Wild salmon contains an antioxidant called astaxanthin, this is what makes the wild salmon meat a beautiful dark pink to red color.
It’s because of its natural diet!
Although wild-caught salmon typically costs a bit more than farmed salmon, it’s definitely worth its weight!
Wild-caught salmon has more vitamins, minerals, and anti-inflammatory benefits.
I typically will only purchase salmon when I’m perusing the seafood counter and notice wild-caught salmon happens to be on SALE….then it’s on at my house!
The fresh homemade pesto sauce adds a burst of flavor and nutrition, with healthy fats and antioxidants from the basil and garlic. And with only 4 ingredients, you can’t go wrong!
So go ahead, give these Salmon Kabobs a try and enjoy the protein-packed punch of this easy and delicious recipe.
🌱Each time I make a batch of homemade pesto, I ask myself why I don’t make it more often?!!! It’s just SO good and really brightens up any meal!

- 1/2 cup fresh pesto sauce https://cleanfoodcrush.com/delicious-fresh-homemade-pesto/
- 1-1/2 lbs. skinless salmon filet, cut into 1-1/4-inch pieces
- sea salt and ground pepper, to taste
- 2 fresh lemons, very thinly sliced into rounds
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions:
Soak your wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes, so they don’t burn on the grill.
In a large bowl, toss your salmon cubes with your fresh pesto sauce, coating well.
Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and pepper.
Allow to marinate for 20 minutes, covered in the refrigerator.
Thread your salmon onto bamboo skewers alternating with your thin lemon slices as shown.
