Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes

3 tablespoons olive oil

Juice and zest of 1 large lemon

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice and zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

    Marinate the Salmon: Add the salmon cubes to the marinade, gently tossing to ensure each piece is well coated. Cover with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour for more flavor).

      Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F/190°C). If using wooden skewers, ensure they're soaked, so they don’t burn on the grill.

        Skewer the Salmon: Thread the marinated salmon cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

          Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook!

            Serve: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and translate them to a serving plat. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra citrusy kick.

              Enjoy: Dive into the delightful flavors of your fresh lemon herb grilled salmon skewers that are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a weekend backyard BBQ!
