Method

For the Grilled Salmon Kebab

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Salmon

    Cut the salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes and add them to the marinade. Stir to coat evenly and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the sweet bell peppers and red onion into large chunks to facilitate skewering.

  4. 4

    Skewer the Ingredients

    Thread the marinated salmon, sweet peppers, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating between them.

  5. 5

    Grill the Kebabs

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the salmon is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.

For the Basmati Rice

  1. 6

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse 1 cup of basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 7

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 2 cups of water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

For the Zhoug Sauce

  1. 8

    Prepare the Zhoug

    In a food processor, combine cilantro, parsley, green chili peppers, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until smooth.
