Description
When you think kebab, you likely think “grill,” “summer,” “sunshine”— beautiful, warm days spent outside with loved ones. Boy, do we have the perfect kebab for the occasion: our lemony salmon mushroom delight!
Salmon and mushrooms are both superfoods and loaded with antioxidants. Plus, they can be high sources of vitamin D! Add a few scrumptious vegetables— like asparagus and grape tomatoes— and you got yourself one healthy meal.
This hassle-free recipe only requires a quick cleaning and cut followed by a short-but-toasty lounge on your grill. Just five minutes on each side is all these salmon kebabs should need to soak up the rich olive oil. Finish it off with a pinch of salt and pepper and a bright spritz of lemon, and— there you have it!— you’re a griller extraordinaire.
