Grilled Salmon Skewers with Cilantro Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

• 2lbs Secret Island Salmon fillets (Atlantic or Coho) cubed
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
• 2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 lemon thinly sliced

Cilantro Sauce Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup Plain Skyr (Icelandic yogurt) or full-fat yogurt
• 1/2 avocado
• 1 lemon juiced
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 jalapeño chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup water
• Kosher salt to taste
• Freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Simple Steps

In a medium mixing bowl, toss the salmon cubes with the olive oil, spices, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Thread the salmon onto metal skewers, alternating salmon pieces and lemon slices.

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates well, or oil a grill basket. Grill the salmon skewers about 4 minutes per side, until just cooked through. Remove from the heat and rest before serving.

In a food processor or blender, combine the skyr/yogurt, avocado, lemon, cilantro, jalapeño, and olive oil. Process until smooth, adding water as necessary. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve salmon with lemon wedges and cilantro sauce on the side.

Enjoy! (And share the secret!)
