Salmon and Asparagus Kebabs Recipe
- Zest and juice of 1 large or 2 small lemons, preferably Meyer
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 (1-inch chunk) fresh ginger, peeled and shredded on a Microplane
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 pounds fresh wild salmon fillets, about 1 inch thick, skinned and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 8 bamboo skewers
- Kosher salt
- 1 bunch medium-sized asparagus, trimmed and halved crosswise
- Oil, for coating the grill
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
- In a bowl, whisk together the lemon zest and juice, soy sauce, ginger, and brown sugar.
- Add the salmon chunks and toss to coat.
- Cover and let marinate for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, soak the skewers in water for 30 minutes.
- Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil, add the asparagus, and blanch until just barely tender, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Drain and rinse in cold water to stop the cooking.
- Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for direct-heat grilling over medium heat.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade and thread it onto the skewers with the asparagus spears, distributing the ingredients evenly.
- Brush and oil the grill grate.
- Grill the skewers, turning once, until the fish is cooked through and nicely charred, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a platter, garnish with cilantro if you like, and serve.
