Ingredients

  • 1 lb salmon fillets
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 red onion, cut into chunks
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, mirin, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil to make the teriyaki sauce.
  2. Cut the salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes and place them in a shallow dish. Pour half of the teriyaki sauce over the salmon and toss to coat. Reserve the remaining sauce for basting.
  3. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated salmon cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating with chunks of red and green bell pepper and red onion.
  5. Grill the kebabs for about 4-6 minutes per side, basting with the reserved teriyaki sauce occasionally, until the salmon is cooked through and slightly charred.
  6. Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
  7. Serve the Salmon Teriyaki Kebabs hot with steamed rice.
  8. Enjoy!
