Method

Preparing the Salmon Kabobs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Salmon

    Cut the salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes and place them in the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Then thread the marinated salmon onto the skewers.

Grilling the Vegetables

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Cut the bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 5

    Season the Vegetables

    In a bowl, toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 6

    Skewer the Vegetables

    Thread the seasoned vegetables onto separate skewers, alternating between different types.

Making the Tahini Sauce

  1. 7

    Blend the Sauce

    In a small bowl, combine tahini, water, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt. Stir until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed.

Grilling the Kabobs

  1. 8

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 9

    Grill the Kabobs

    Place the salmon and vegetable skewers on the grill. Grill each for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the salmon is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

Serving

  1. 10

    Serve the Kabobs

    Serve the grilled salmon kabobs with grilled vegetables, tahini sauce, and warm pita bread.
