Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh salmon fillet, skinless, and cut into 1-inch cubes

2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely grated

Zest and juice of 1 large orange

3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for added heat)

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley, finely chopped, for garnish

Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the finely grated ginger, orange zest, orange juice, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes if you choose to use them. Season with a generous pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Add the cubed salmon to the marinade and gently toss until all pieces are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a more intense flavor infusion.

    Prepare the Skewers: Preheat your grill or a grill pan to medium-high heat. If you are using wooden skewers, ensure they have been soaked in water for at least 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning. Carefully thread 3-4 pieces of marinated salmon onto each skewer, leaving a small gap between each piece to promote even grilling.

      Grill the Skewers: Lightly grease the grill grates with oil or cooking spray to help prevent the skewers from sticking. Place the salmon skewers on the grill, cooking for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side. Keep an eye on them until the salmon turns opaque in the center and develops beautiful char marks. Be careful not to overcook the salmon to maintain its tenderness and juiciness.

        Serve: After grilling, remove the skewers from the grill and arrange them artistically on a serving platter. If desired, drizzle over any remaining marinade that hasn’t touched the raw salmon for an added burst of flavor. Top with a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro or parsley, enhancing both the visual appeal and taste.

          Enjoy: Serve your Zesty Citrus Ginger Salmon Skewers alongside a vibrant mix of steamed vegetables or over a bed of fluffy jasmine rice. Delight in the refreshing explosion of flavors with every bite!
