Looking for a quick way to prepare salmon? You can make these lemony, peppery skewers and grill them in a snap. This is perfect for relaxing outdoor meals and makes great use of abundant summer zucchini.

Ingredients

1 pound salmon fillet, skinned
2 small zucchini
1 large lemon, zest and juice
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
1 clove garlic, pressed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 lemon, sliced into rounds, seeds removed
Wooden skewers, soaked
Canola oil for the grill

Preparation

Cut the salmon into 1-1½-inch cubes and place in a large bowl. Cut the zucchini into ¾-inch thick rounds and add to the bowl. In a cup, whisk the lemon juice and zest, olive oil, black pepper, garlic and salt. Pour over the salmon and zucchini in the bowl and gently toss to coat.
Marinate for 10-20 minutes.
Thread the salmon cubes, lemon slices and zucchini rounds onto the skewers.
Preheat the grill on high. When hot, use tongs to dip a crumpled paper towel in oil and swab the grill. Place the skewers on the oiled grill and cook for about 3 minutes per side, until the salmon is lightly browned and cooked through.
