Bring on the summer grilling with these super easy salmon kabobs with a Mediterranean marinade that makes them so tender and delicious. These scrumptious salmon kabobs are ready in less then 40 minutes. Indoor grilling is always an option!
I have always grilled salmon fillets and this time by marinating the salmon and vegetables they have an abundance of delicious, and fresh Mediterranean flavours and not to mention this dish is so light and healthy!
This recipe can be served on it’s own for a light lunch or dinner. If you want to add a side to the dish, roasted rosemary potatoes, light olive oil and lemon pasta, basmati rice, couscous or quinoa.
I decide to add vegetables that work well with the salmon and while the salmon is marinating, slice your vegetables and add them to the marinated salmon the last few minutes for additional flavours to the vegetables.
