Grilled Salmon Kebabs

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano
• 2 tsp sesame seeds
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 1-1/2 pounds skinless wild salmon fillet, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 lemons, very thinly sliced into rounds
• olive oil cooking spray
• 1 tsp salt
• 16 bamboo skewers soaked in water 1 hour

Method

1. Heat the grill on medium heat and spray the
   grill with oil.
2. Mix oregano, sesame seeds, cumin, and red
   pepper flakes in a small bowl to combine.
3. Set spice mixture aside.
4. Beginning and ending with salmon, thread salmon and folded lemon slices onto 8 pairs of parallel skewers to make 8 kebabs total.
5. Spray the fish lightly with oil and season with salt and the spice mixture.
6. Grill the fish, turning occasionally, until fish is opaque throughout, about 8 to 10 minutes total.

Tips

• If you are using wooden skewers, soak them for at least 30 minutes to avoid burning.
• Using double skewers when threading, prevents the salmon from moving around on the stick while turning.
• You could use thin metal skewers which saves time cooking,
  as there is no need to soak.
