Ingredients
For the Salmon Kabobs
- 12 10” wooden skewers
- 1½-2 lbs salmon filets cut into 1” pieces (If possible, use wild-caught salmon)
- 1 ruby red grapefruit thinly sliced
- vegetable oil for brushing grill grates
For the Marinade
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp garlic minced
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2-3 Tbsp fresh grapefruit juice ~½ grapefruit
For Avocado Tomato Salsa
- 1 avocado peeled and diced
- ⅓ cup red onion diced
- 2 Roma tomatoes diced
- 1 Tbsp fresh grapefruit juice
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For Serving
- cooked rice
- fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Soak the wooden skewers in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat (~375°F).
- Make the salsa topping by combining all of the ingredients (avocado, red onion, tomatoes, grapefruit juice, olive oil, salt and pepper) together in a small bowl; set aside.
- Next, make the marinade by whisking together olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, pepper and grapefruit juice; set marinade aside.
- Skewer the salmon and grapefruit slices onto skewers. (Tip: Use two skewers instead of one to make it easier to flip the kabobs on the grill.)
- Brush both sides of skewers generously with the marinade mixture.
- Using vegetable oil (or grill spray), brush the grill grates generously to prevent salmon from sticking.
- Place skewers on grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until salmon is opaque and fully cooked.
- Serve kabobs over rice with Avocado Tomato Salsa and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
