Cooking Tips

• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes before threading the salmon to prevent them from burning on the grill.
• Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to the skewers, such as bell peppers, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes.
• To make the dish more filling, serve the skewers over a bed of cooked quinoa or brown rice.
