The summer heat has us running to the grill to make these Teriyaki Salmon Skewers! We took fresh sockeye salmon and marinated it in homemade teriyaki, then made kebabs with fresh pineapple, peppers, onion, mushrooms. These skewers are grilled to mouthwatering perfection! Sure to become a summer staple for meal prep or healthy cook outs.
NOTES: Fresh salmon and pineapple are recommended for this recipe. While frozen salmon and canned pineapple chunks work, the texture and flavor is lacking. Feel free to use your favorite store-bought teriyaki if you like!
Teriyaki Salmon Skewers

Teriyaki sauce:
1/2 cup coconut aminos

12 wood skewers, soaked
24 oz. fresh salmon
3 cups fresh pineapple, diced

1 cup red onion, sliced
Directions:
Heat outdoor grill to a minimum of 450 degrees F. Alternatively, you can set your oven to BROIL at 500 degrees F.

Toss pineapple, peppers, mushrooms, and onion with remaining marinade.
Skewer alternating salmon, pineapple, and vegetables onto soaked skewers.
