Lemon Garlic Marinade

  • 2 tbsp avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice from 1 lemon

Notes

Expert Tips

  • You can use metal skewers or bamboo skewers. If using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water first.
  • This is a super low carb salmon recipe so if you’re keto or eating low carb, you can serve it with my grilled zucchini or eggplant to keep the carbs low!
  • I don’t recommend adding veggies to these skewers as they take more time to cook than salmon. If you want to grill veggies separately on skewers, I recommend bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini. 

Storage Tips

Store leftover salmon kabobs in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days. Eat cold or reheat gently so as not to dry out the salmon. 
Discard any leftover salmon marinade.
