Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb salmon fillets
- 3 tbsp white miso paste
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 4 scallions, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade by whisking together miso paste, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and lemon juice in a bowl until smooth.
- Cut salmon into bite-sized pieces and toss in the marinade; let it sit for at least 15 minutes while you prep the vegetables.
- Thread marinated salmon pieces onto skewers, alternating with zucchini slices and scallions.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400°F/200°C). If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Grill skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork while veggies are tender yet crisp.
- Serve immediately with any leftover marinade drizzled on top.
