Directions
1. Grease and preheat your grill or griddle if you’re cooking on the stove. Remove the skin from the salmon fillet with a sharp knife and cut salmon into 1-inch pieces.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low-medium heat. Remove from heat, add honey, garlic and lemon. Whisk until the honey has melted through the butter and the mixture is well combined. Add one tablespoon chopped parsley, mix well and set aside.
3. Marinate salmon cubes in the lemon garlic butter sauce for 10 to 20 minutes. Drain and thread salmon cubes onto soaked wooden skewers (or metal skewers); keep some space between each piece of salmon.
4. Grill salmon for 5-10 minutes, turning on each side to ensure even cooking. In the meantime, you can boil the lemon garlic butter sauce to reduce it a bit and brush the salmon while cooking. Remove from heat and drizzle remaining lemon garlic butter sauce over salmon skewers, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Note: Skip honey if you’re on a low-carb or Keto diet.
