Gather your ingredients. Place the salmon on a cutting board and chop into 1/2-inch cubes, then slice the lemons. If you're incorporating additional ingredients (such as zucchini, onion, tomato, pineapple, mango, etc.), chop them now, as well.
Step 2
Thread the salmon cubes and lemon slices onto 6 metal skewers.
Tip
If using wooden skewers, be sure to pre-soak them in water for at least 15 minutes before using so that they don't catch fire on the grill.
Step 3
Once you're finished preparing the skewers, generously coat them with avocado oil (or a high-temperature cooking oil).
Step 4
Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper. You can also add any of your favorite spices and herbs!
Step 5
Place skewers on the preheated grill. Grill 2 to 3 minutes until grill marks appear, then use tongs to carefully rotate the skewers. Grill an additional 2 to 3 minutes then flip again.
Continue grilling and flipping until salmon is opaque and cooked through, about 5 to 8 minutes total. Serve with your favorite side dishes, and enjoy!
