Ingredients
Salmon Skewers:
- 1 lb salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1½-inch cubes
Zucchini:
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
Scallions:
- 4 scallions, cut into 2-inch segments
Miso Marinade:
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- Skewers (if wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
- Miso Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger to create a marinade.
- Grilling: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread the salmon, zucchini rounds, and scallion pieces alternately onto skewers.
- Serve hot with rice or salad.
Place the salmon cubes in a bowl or zip-top bag and pour half the marinade over them. Toss to coat, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes.
Grill the skewers for 2–3 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with the reserved marinade, until the salmon is opaque and lightly charred.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle with sesame seeds or a squeeze of fresh lime before serving.
- You can also broil these skewers if a grill isn’t available.
