Grilled Salmon Skewers with Barbecued Black Tea Seasonings

Ingredients:

• 6g barbecued black tea seasonings
• 1 lb fresh salmon fillet, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
• 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
• 1 small red onion, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Wooden or metal skewers (soaked in water if wooden)
• Fresh lemon wedges and chopped dill (for garnish)

Instructions:

Prepare the Salmon and Vegetables:

• Pat the salmon cubes dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Season the salmon generously with the barbecued black tea seasonings, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and chopped dill. Mix well to form a marinade. Add the seasoned salmon cubes, bell pepper squares, and red onion cubes to the bowl. Toss everything together to coat evenly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Assemble the Skewers:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, make sure they are soaked in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
• Thread the marinated salmon cubes, bell pepper squares, and red onion cubes onto the skewers, alternating between the ingredients for a colorful presentation.

Grill the Skewers:

• Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature of the salmon should reach 145°F (63°C). The vegetables should be tender and slightly charred.

Serve:

• Transfer the grilled skewers to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and chopped dill. Serve immediately.

Tips for Success:

• Seasoning: The barbecued black tea seasonings add a unique, smoky flavor that complements the rich taste of the salmon. Feel free to adjust the amount based on your preference.
• Marination: Marinating the salmon and vegetables enhances their flavor. However, avoid marinating for too long, as the acid in the lemon juice can toughen the salmon.
• Grilling: Ensure the grill is hot and well-oiled to prevent sticking. Cooking the skewers over medium-high heat ensures a crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
• Garnish: Fresh dill and lemon wedges add a refreshing touch, balancing the richness of the salmon and the smoky flavor of the seasonings.
