Do you think food tastes better when it’s on sticks? There’s no scientific reason why food tastes better when it’s transformed into kabobs.
That’s exactly what’s going on. I modified the marinade of this recipe Here to add in some fun goodies. Threading red onions, fresh pineapple chunks, and zucchini. All marinated for around 10-15 minutes.
You can then throw them on the grill or grill pan for 5-7 minutes if you do not have a grill. The leftover marinade can be reduced and drizzled as a glaze.
Ingredients
- Cut 1 1/2 pounds of skinless salmon into 1-inch pieces
- Peel and chop one pineapple into 1-inch pieces
- Cut one red onion into pieces
- Slice one zucchini into thick rounds
- Fresh cilantro leaves chopped into two tablespoons
FOR THE MARINADE
- Reduced sodium soy sauce, two tablespoons
- Two tablespoons of oyster sauce
- Ginger freshly grated to 2 tablespoons
- One tablespoon of seasoned rice vinegar
- One teaspoon of brown sugar, packaged
- Three cloves garlic, minced
- Sesame Oil, 1 Teaspoon
- Optional: 1 teaspoon Sriracha (optional).
- To taste: freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce with the oyster sauce, ginger, and rice vinegar. Add in brown sugar, garlic cloves, sesame seed oil, Sriracha, and pepper to taste.
- Thread the salmon, pineapples, red onions, and zucchini onto the skewers. Brush the soy sauce mixture onto the skewers and allow them to sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium heat. Reserve the marinade and add kabobs, cooking them, occasionally turning, until salmon is opaque and vegetables are soft approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Add the marinade you have saved to a small pan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer; reduce heat, and cook until the mixture is reduced by half. This should take about 5-6 minutes.
- If desired, garnish kabobs with chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
