Cajun Salmon Kabobs Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine all the Cajun spice rub ingredients and stir.
• Place the salmon fillets on a cutting board and rub the olive oil over all sides of the salmon fillets.
• Sprinkle the spice rub over the salmon, using your hands to ensure all sides are covered.
• Cook on a BBQ over a medium to high heat for 2 minutes per side. The outside should start to blacken and crisp, leaving the salmon juicy inside.
• Once the salmon is cooked set aside.
• In a large bowl, add all of the salsa ingredients and stir well.
• Serve the salmon with an extra sprinkling of parsley alongside the salsa.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to 375 degrees F.
• Add the olive oil, Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the salmon, red onion, and lemon quarters to the bowl and gently toss to coat.
• To assemble the kebabs, thread a few pieces of red onion onto an 8-inch-long metal skewer (see Cook's Note). Next, add a piece of salmon, followed by a quarter of lemon. Continue threading the ingredients onto the skewer until you have 4 pieces of salmon on the skewer. Set the finished kebab aside and continue the process with the remaining skewers and ingredients.
• Generously oil the grates of the preheated grill. Add the salmon kebabs to the grill and cook, turning halfway through, until nice grill marks have formed, and the salmon easily releases from the grill, 4 to 6 minutes. (This can alternatively be done on an indoor grill pan.)
• Remove the salmon to a serving platter and drizzle with the Herb Sauce. Serve with lemon wedges.
• Add the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a small food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse until the garlic is finely chopped. Add the basil and parsley leaves and blend until finely chopped. Transfer the herb sauce to a bowl to serve with the grilled salmon.

Steps:

• Mix dressing and seasoning until blended; pour over fish in bowl. Stir gently to evenly coat. Refrigerate 15 min. to marinate.
• Heat grill to medium-high heat. Remove fish from marinade; discard marinade. Thread fish onto 4 skewers alternately with vegetables.
• Grill 8 to 10 min. or until fish flakes easily with fork, turning occasionally.

Steps:

• In a bowl mix the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, mustard powder, oregano, chili powder, black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt and cayenne pepper.
• Cut the salmon fillets into about the same size as your scallops, then add (only the salmon) to the bowl with spices; toss gently to coat completely on all sides.
• In another bowl toss the scallops and cherry tomatoes (if using) with a small amount of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.
• Alternately thread the salmon chunks cherry, tomatoes (if using) and scallops on wooden skewers.
• Place the kabobs on a greased grill over medium heat.
• Close the lid and grill turning once (about 6-7 minutes (cooking time will vary depending on the size of you salmon and scallops) or until the fish flakes easily.

Steps:

• Using a mortar and pestle or small bowl and the handle end of a wooden spoon, grind the saffron with a pinch of sugar to a fine powder (about 1/4 teaspoon). Transfer to a large bowl. Bring 2 tablespoons water to a boil in a saucepan, kettle or using the microwave, then let stand for 2 minutes to allow the water temperature to drop slightly. Add to the ground saffron powder, gently stir, cover and steep for 5 minutes.
• To the saffron water, add the lime juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, oregano, coriander, pepper and turmeric. Stir to mix, add the salmon pieces and combine until the salmon is well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• As the salmon marinates, prepare a charcoal grill until the coals are ashed over and slightly cooled to medium-hot and or heat a gas grill to medium-high. Skewer the salmon and save any remaining marinade. Grill the skewers, brushing with the remaining marinade and turning every couple of minutes, until tender and buttery, about 10 minutes total. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over the fish. Enjoy, with bites of fresh herbs between bites of salmon.
