Ginger Salmon Skewers


Marinated salmon is an easy & healthy dinner as the flavours absorb quickly. This entire dish is a really quick cook, however, if you can leave the salmon marinate for at least 30mins the flavours will infuse beautifully.

TIP: Swap out for your favourite vegetables, just keep in mind cooking times for harder choices. Optional to add in a small portion of brown rice or quinoa for a bigger meal.

TIP 2: For soy free, swap out tamari for coconut aminos & only add 1/2 the honey.

Ingredients

150 grams of salmon fillet (skin off), cut into cubes
1 tablespoon of tamari or soy sauce
1 teaspoon of raw honey
1 small clove of garlic, micro-grated
2-3 teaspoons of fresh ginger, micro-grated
2 teaspoons of cold pressed coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil
70 grams of zucchini, finely sliced or peeled into ribbons
120 grams of asian greens (pak choy, bok choy, choy sum etc)
1/2 teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds
Fresh coriander leaves (optional)

Method

  1. Combine the tamari, honey, garlic & ginger to make the marinade.  Use a microplane for the garlic & ginger makes it an easy clean up.
  2. Add the salmon cubes & leave to marinate in the fridge as long as you can.  If you don’t have time the flavours will still be awesome.
  3. Prepare the greens ready for a quick cook.
  4. Thread your salmon onto 3 small wooden skewers, draining off a little of the marinade as you will keep the excess marinade to use with the vegetables. (TIP: pre-soak the skewers if using a BBQ or grill to cook). 
  5. Optional to lightly toast the sesame seeds in your pan prior to slightly increasing the heat for the salmon. Heat a pan to a medium/low heat.  (Note: the honey, garlic & ginger will burn easily so the heat can’t be too high).  Add the oil & make sure it’s heated before adding salmon.
  6. Add the salmon skewers and cook for approx. 3 minutes each side.  Time will vary on how thick your salmon cubes are.
  7. Once the salmon is cooked, set aside & keep warm.  Immediately add the vegetables to the same pan, cooking any harder veg first. The soft veg we used only needed a minute or 2.  Towards the end of cooking, add the remaining marinade to the veg and cook through for at least 30 seconds.  (TIP:  if using harder veg add a few teaspoons of water and pop a lid on your pan to steam them through, or steam them briefly before adding to the pan).
  8. Add veg to a bowl, top with salmon, sprinkle with sesame seeds & fresh coriander.
