Give a twist to your regular kebabs, chicken and mutton may be staples, but it’s time to spruce things up, and Smoky Salmon Skewers show you the way.
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Caters to: 8 gobblers or 12 skewers
Challenge Level: Beginner
From The Pantry:
- 12 bamboo skewers
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chilli powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Cook Away:
- Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before use.
- Prepare your grill according to instructions and set it on medium heat.
- In a large bowl combine sugar, smoked paprika, chilli powder, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper. Mix with your hands to ensure no lumps are formed and everything combines uniformly.
- Add salmon and zucchini to the mix and toss, coating evenly.
- Pass the salmon squares through the skewer alternating with zucchini slices (two at a time).
- Lightly oil a piece foil and place it on the grill.
- Once ready, place the skewers on a hot grill and cook until the salmon turns opaque throughout.
