Ingredients
  

For the Salmon Skewers:

1 lb (450g) fresh salmon fillet, skin removed

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)

Wooden or metal skewers

For the Strawberry Salsa:

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced

1/4 red onion, finely chopped

1/4 jalapeño, seeded and minced (adjust for heat preference)

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Salt to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Salmon:

    - Begin by cutting the salmon fillet into 1-inch cubes. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and fresh dill (if using). Gently fold in the salmon cubes, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

      Make the Strawberry Salsa:

        - In a medium bowl, combine diced strawberries, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Mix gently to combine and set aside to let the flavors meld while preparing the skewers.

          Assemble the Skewers:

            - Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning. Thread marinated salmon cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.

              Grill the Salmon Skewers:

                - Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The salmon should have beautiful grill marks and a slightly charred crust.

                  Serve:

                    - Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve the salmon skewers warm, garnished with additional dill if you like. Spoon the fresh strawberry salsa on top or serve it on the side for dipping.
