I’m happy to report that I can still find a gazillion ways to eat my favorite fish: salmon!
But first, HI! HELLO! Welcome to Monday! Wishing it was Sundaaaay ’cause that’s my fun daaaay…
However. On my Sunday-Fun-Day, I stayed IN and worked. All day. UGH… The good news is that I got to share some really awesome food with the fam, and all of that is going to be comin’ to you in the next two weeks. So, it’s not a bad thing at all. Besides, making food and photographing it is kinda my favorite hobby. Also? Taking Monday OFF feels pretty incredible!

*clears throat* …after I type up all of this, then I’ll be OFF…
SALMON KABOBS
Did you know that I have this thing about threading food onto skewers. As in, I’m completely crazy about it and I’ve been that way since I was little. Bite sized meat or grilled salmon placed in between veggies, fruits, or lemon slices? AND grilled?!? Bring it ON!
These kabobs, tho. They have a story to tell.
Enter: STAR Seasoned Rice Vinegar. OMG. SO GOOD!!
It is sweet, salty and acidic, which makes it a handy ingredient to have around for a quick and easy way to enhance foods without adding extra calories, fat or salt.
I paired the Seasoned Rice Vinegar with a dose of garlic and some Italian Seasoning and then I just ate it all with a spoon. I could not stop. Well, I did eventually stop so that I could brush it over our skewers, but it really was dang good. I know, Rice Vinegar with Italian Seasoning?! I know… but it works! The grilled salmon is delicious. I mean, it’s simple and perfect and flakes beautifully.
YOGURT DIPPING SAUCE
BUT this yogurt sauce on top is like WHOA.
It is very similar to my favorite Taratur recipe – a.k.a. Cucumber-Garlic Yogurt Sauce – sans the cucumbers and walnuts. It is a sauce which is suitable for slathering on fish, chicken, lamb chops, even sandwiches. My sister and I used to dip our fries in it, too. Little foreigners… Every other kid was like, where’s the ketchup, MOM!?!? And we’re over here, 5 years old, dipping our fries in garlic and yogurt…
I can’t even tell you how much fun I had making this salmon for my family, but really, just making it for me! It’s all these wonderful flavors in one, and since most of my life revolves around food that is quick and easy, and absolutely delicious, this one meets all the requirements.
If you have a few minutes and don’t mind chopping up some salmon and threading it onto skewers, get on this quickly.

Sesame Soy Pineapple Chicken Kabobs
Thank you posting this! Your directions are very clear! My first attempt went perfectly! The next two batches didn’t harden but there are enough suggestions now to try again. It is amazing!
These are so pretty! I love how summery they look 🙂
Thees look amazing – I never thought to put salmon on a skewer before! What a great idea.
We eat salmon all the time and I love this creative way to serve it. So much flavor here!
I have a serious love for salmon…these are a must try!!!
We love salmon at our house, but we haven’t made them this way. Plus, that yogurt sauce looks amazing.
You just can’t beat food on a stick! I didn’t know Star made rice vinegar…I’ll look for it in the store!
These look fantastic. I just made a yogurt sauce for my husband’s tacos, I know, dude combo for sure but they were killer. Thanks for the reminder to make some more.
