Salmon and Vegetable Oven Kebabs

This content was last updated on February 25, 2020

These savory salmon kabobs offer the great flavor of barbeque without having to fire up the grill. They are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, an anti-inflammatory fat linked to heart health. Colorful vegetables and a light, Mediterranean marinade add healthful phytochemicals and delicious flavor. Broiling in the oven helps cut down on the carcinogenic HCAs typically produced when grilling meat.

Directions

  1. If using wooden skewers (in lieu of metal ones), soak them in water for about 30 minutes.
  2. In large mixing bowl, combine juice, oil, garlic, seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix well and divide in half.
  3. Add salmon and vegetables to half of marinade and gently toss to coat pieces. Cover and marinate for about 30 minutes, occasionally rearranging pieces to ensure even coating.
  4. Preheat oven broiler.
  5. Spray large shallow baking dish. Remove skewers from water. Divide fish and vegetable pieces into 4 even portions. Arrange and distribute them evenly on skewers, being careful not to break the pieces.
  6. Place on baking dish. Brush with remaining marinade not used for marinating raw fish. Broil for about 5-8 minutes, brushing frequently with marinade. Carefully turn over kebabs and continue cooking for an additional 4 minutes, basting frequently until fish is done. Serve.
