These Grilled Salmon Skewers are a perfect dish for a summer barbecue. The tender and flavorful salmon chunks are marinated in a tangy and savory sauce, threaded onto skewers, and grilled to perfection. This recipe is not only delicious but also healthy, as salmon is packed with omega-3 fatty acids that are good for your heart. Serve these skewers with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
