Salmon Skewers

Salmon Skewers

The simplicity of these skewers will be much appreciated when preparing a lavish barbecue for friends and family. Leave the salmon to rest in the marinade long before your guests arrive.


Instructions

  1. 1

    For the marinade, mix together the basil, thyme, parsley, olive oil, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, lemon peel, garlic and poppy seeds in a bowl.


  2. 2

    Dice the salmon into 1 ½ inch cubes and transfer to a oven-proof dish.


  3. 3

    Pour over the marinade and leave for at least 30 minutes.


  4. 4

    Arrange the marinated salmon on the skewers, around four pieces per skewer.


  5. 5

    Place directly onto the barbecue and cook for about 2 minutes on each side (alternatively you could cook the salmon under the grill which will take a little longer). While cooking, keep brushing the salmon with the marinade to keep it moist.
