Spiced Salmon Kebabs

Spice it up...

My husband I both love to eat outside when the weather is nice, especially after having a prolonged "winter" with snow all the way through May! A few weekends ago, we tried Bon Appetit's Spiced Salmon Kebabs from their Fast, Fresh and Easy section and it was delicious! Served with basmati rice, and a glass of Viognier from Thumbprint Cellars and it was perfect.

Recipe:

4 servings

Time: 25 minutes (hence, the "Fast," in the Fast, Fresh and Easy)

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp chopped fresh oregano

2 tsp sesame seeds

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp kosher salt

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

1 1/2 lbs skinless salmon fillet (preferably wild), cut into 1-inch pieces

2 lemons, very thinly sliced into rounds

2 Tbsp olive oil

Special Equipment:

16 bamboo skewers soaked in water for 1 hour

Prep:

Prepare grill for medium heat. Mix oregano, sesame seeds, cumin, salt and red pepper flaxes in a small bowl to combine; set spice mixture aside.

Beginning and ending with salmon, thread salmon and folded lemon slices onto 8 pairs of parallel skewers to make 8 kebabs total.

(Tip: Use two skewers to thread salmon pieces so they don't flip and spin every time you turn them on the grill)

Grill, turning occasionally, until fish is opaque throughout, 5-8 minutes.

Casual Friday

Sequin Trim Sweatshirt - GAP | Denim Jacket- Intuitions Vintage Gold Bracelet- Grandma Betty | Luna Wrap Bracelet - Stella & Dot Sosie Boots - Ninewest | Tweed Skirt- J.Crew Ready to go "Casual Friday" can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people depending on your age and profession. For some, it means denim trousers and a tailored top, others it may mean switching form a shirt and tie to a polo. For me though, it means layering different pieces of comfortable clothing with more structured items to create a professional yet casual look. To accomplish this, I mixed and matched my sequin trimmed sweatshirt with a tailored denim jacket and tweed pencil skirt. Finished with some sparkly accessories, herringbone tights and suede boots, I'm ready to go.
