How to Grill Salmon Kabobs on a Gas Grill:

Follow these tips to grill delicious and perfectly cooked salmon kabobs on your gas grill every time.

1. Choose high-quality salmon: The quality of the salmon is just as important when making kabobs. Look for fresh, wild-caught salmon to ensure the best flavor and texture.
2. Preheat the grill: Preheat the gas grill for at least 10-15 minutes before cooking to ensure that the grill grates are hot enough to sear the salmon and prevent sticking.
3. Brush the kabobs with oil: Before placing the kabobs on the grill, brush them lightly with some oil to prevent sticking and help them cook evenly.
4. Use indirect heat: If you’re worried about the kabobs sticking or drying out on the grill, you can cook them using indirect heat. Turn off one side of the grill and place the kabobs on the cooler side. This will help to cook the kabobs more gently and prevent them from overcooking.
5. Don’t overcook the salmon: As with grilling salmon fillets, it’s important not to overcook the salmon on the kabobs. Cook the salmon until it is just opaque in the center and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Let the kabobs rest: After grilling, let the kabobs rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the salmon and vegetables, resulting in a more flavorful and tender final product.

Grilled Salmon Kabobs Recipe:

The salmon needs to marinate for 2 hours in the fridge before you grill it, so make sure you have plenty of time before dinner to start making this recipe. It’s really simple, just cut the salmon into 1 inch cubes, throw them into a leak proof bag with the marinade sauce and place in the fridge for a couple of hours.

While they are marinating; cut up the vegetables into 1 inch squares and set aside.

When you are ready to put the salmon and the veggies on the kabob, save the marinade and stick it in a saucepan. Heat on medium heat for 5-10 minutes on the stove.

You will want to baste the kabobs periodically with a basting brush while they are grilling.

How Often Do You Flip Salmon On the Grill?
