Pineapple Salmon Skewers

Spring is finally arriving and it’s the best time to start prepping your grill for all your spring and summer meals. Brats, steaks, and corn on the cob are great, but our Pineapple Salmon Skewers are full of flavor and just what your grilling rotation needs.

Ingredients

3 Cups                  Pineapple, Cubed

1 Cup                    Red Onion, Large Dice

1 lb.                       Salmon, Cut into Cubes

3 Tbsp.                 Olive Oil

3 Tbsp.                 Sweet Chili Sauce

2 Cloves               Garlic, Minced

2 tsp.                     Fresh Grated Ginger

2 tsp.                     Toasted Sesame Oil

1/2 tsp.                Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Kosher Salt

Toasted Sesame Seeds for Garnish

Thin Sliced Green Onions for Garnish

Lime Wedges for Garnish

Fried Wonton Strips for Garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat grill to medium heat and place wooden skewers in water to soak.

2. Skewer the pineapple, red onion, and salmon pieces, alternating, until all are used, then place on a large baking sheet.

3. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, chili sauce, ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes, and season with salt. Whisk until combined and brush all over skewers.

4. Place the skewers on the grill and cook, flipping once, brushing with any remaining sauce, until salmon is cooked through (about 8-10 minutes).

5. Garnish with sesame seeds, crumbled fried wantons, and green onions and serve with lime wedges.
