These healthy salmon and lemon kebabs are delicious and easy to make, loaded with omega 3s in every bite! Seasoned with fresh herbs, lemon, and spices and grilled to perfection.
This was last night’s supper, it was a beautiful night and we ate outdoors, oh how I love summer! I served this with a great big garden salad and everyone loved them – including Madison which was a happy surprise for me.
How To Make Salmon Kebabs
- If using wooden skewers you will want to soak them at least 30 minutes to avoid burning.
- I prefer to double the skewers when threading, this prevents the salmon from flipping around the stick while turning.
- You can also use thin metal skewers which saves time cooking, no need to soak.
How Long Do You Cook Salmon Kebabs on the Grill?
- Fish cooks fast! You will only need about 8 to 10 minutes on the grill total cook time.

Seems like this should be Whole 30 also? Â Is there some reason it does not qualify?Â

I look forward to trying these, I’ve done Salmon kabobs with chunks of pineapple and green bell pepper several times but this looks good too.

I have restriction against cooking on my Sabbath. If I were to make these on Friday, how could I warm them on Saturday for a lunch and not have them be too dry? Should I let them return to room temp before warming, or warm them straight from the fridge?
I have served this cold and room temp for Shabbat and it’s fine. I wouldn’t bother warning it up!
I thought the fresh oregano might taste strong, but this was delicious! I used an electric George Forman grill. I couldn’t slice my lemon thin enough, so I used 1/2 slice between pieces of fish. My husband loved it!
