Things You’ll Need
-
1 (1 1/2 lb) salmon fillet
-
3 large lemons, sliced
-
2 tbsp avocado oil or high-temperature cooking oil
-
1/2 tsp sea salt
-
1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Gather your ingredients. Place the salmon on a cutting board and chop into 1/2-inch cubes, then slice the lemons. If you're incorporating additional ingredients (such as zucchini, onion, tomato, pineapple, mango, etc.), chop them now, as well.

Tip
If using wooden skewers, be sure to pre-soak them in water for at least 15 minutes before using so that they don't catch fire on the grill.
Step 3
Once you're finished preparing the skewers, generously coat them with avocado oil (or a high-temperature cooking oil).

Step 5
Place skewers on the preheated grill. Grill 2 to 3 minutes until grill marks appear, then use tongs to carefully rotate the skewers. Grill an additional 2 to 3 minutes then flip again.
Continue grilling and flipping until salmon is opaque and cooked through, about 5 to 8 minutes total. Serve with your favorite side dishes, and enjoy!
