Prep time: 10 minutes

Ingredients: Fish & Seafood; Salmon

Serves 2-4

Total Time 38 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Inactive Time 10-20 minutes

Cook Time 8 minutes

Ingredients

1½ pound skinless salmon filet
1 cup Kikkoman® Teriyaki Takumi, Original
1 bunch of scallion or green onion
2 lemons, thinly sliced into half-moons
1 tablespoon of neutral oil (for grill grates, we use grapeseed)
Garnish with sliced scallions (optional)

Directions

Cut up salmon into cubes, and place into a bowl and pour ⅓ cup of Takumi over salmon. Cover and refrigerate 20 minutes while you preheat the grill.
Preheat grill to medium-high (about 425°F) and oil the grates.
Thread salmon and lemon slices alternately, folding lemon halves into “C” shapes so they hug the fish. Aim for 4–5 salmon pieces and 3–4 lemon slices per skewer.
Grill salmon & whole green onion. Place skewers and green onion on direct heat. Grill 3–4 minutes per side, basting once with leftover marinade after the first turn. Salmon is done when opaque and flaky with light char on edges. Green onion is done once nicely charred on both sides.
Remove everything from heat, and serve. Skewers and scallions can be served family style or plated with a bit of rice and fresh sliced scallion for garnish!
