Tandoori Salmon Skewers

Tender salmon, sweet peppers and red onion cook quickly on skewers for a colourful dinner or barbecue centrepiece.

⏱️ Prep, Cook & Serve

Prep: 20 minutes | Cook: 10–12 minutes | Serves: 4

🧂 Ingredients

  • 600g skinless salmon fillet, cut into large cubes
  • 1 red pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 120g natural yoghurt
  • 1½ tbsp Tandoori Masala
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil
  • Mint yoghurt, lemon and rice salad, to serve

🔪 Method

  1. Mix the yoghurt, Tandoori Masala, lemon juice and oil.
  2. Gently coat the salmon and leave for 15 minutes.
  3. Thread the salmon, pepper and onion alternately onto skewers.
  4. Cook under a hot grill or on a barbecue for 10–12 minutes, turning carefully, until lightly charred and just cooked.
  5. Serve immediately with mint yoghurt, lemon and rice salad.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

  • Tuck the skewers into warm flatbreads.
  • Add a crunchy cucumber and tomato salad.

💛 Why It Works

Salmon’s richness suits the warm, tangy seasoning, while the yoghurt protects the fish over high heat.

🍳 Cook’s Tip

Use two parallel skewers if the salmon pieces turn when you try to flip them.
