directions

  • In a large glass dish not too deep, mix oil, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper and marjoram.
  • Add salmon, bell pepper, shrimp and scallops and mix to coat well.
  • Cover the dish with saran wrap and let marinate 15 to 30 minutes in the fridge.
  • On 8 metal skewers or 8 wood skewers previously soaked in water, thread salmon cubes alternating with the bell pepper, shrimps and scallops.
  • Set the barbecue to medium heat.
  • Put seafood skewers on an oiled grill of the bbq and close the cover.
  • Cook 6 to 8 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with a fork (flip the skewers at mid-cooking and baste with marinade).
  • Serve the skewers with lemon quarters.

  1. We really liked this. I subbed a red pepper for the green, and also added a sliced zucchini. It looked good and tasted great! I liked the shrimp best and I think it might have been even better as leftovers the next day! Thanks for sharing.
     
  2. Awesome! Just the color alone is fantastic; since it took more bell pepper than called for, we cut in a red one and that made it even more flamboyant. We had to use the broiler as our grill isn't out for the season yet, but they came out perfect and delicious. We don't do seafood at home all that often but this was fun and not difficult and the flavor was amazing. Made for Top Favorites of 2009 Cookbook game.
     
  3. We have been using this recipe since last year and love it! The salmon in this recipe melts in your mouth somehow. This will continue being a top recipe in our household...thanks for sharing!
     
  4. These were great, thanks! Had a greek BBQ meal on the weekend and served these. To save on time, I made all the skewers the night before and let them marinate. Salmon was great and prawns were amazing. Easy peasy!
     
  5. Another winner, Boomette! I had never done salmon on skewers before, but will more often now! The combination of shrimp, scallops and salmon was great, and the Greek flavors from the herbs was subtle but tasty. I used a mix of yellow and orange peppers instead of green. Great addition to our "skewer" party!
