Zesty & Sweet Grilled Lemongrass Salmon Skewers | Recipe Drop | Food52

EPISODE TITLE:
In this episode of Recipe Drop, test kitchen chef César Pérez walks us through his take on skewers, combining light and complex flavors to create a flavorful summer favorite.

"Shish kebabs, satay, yakitori, pinchos, souvlaki—these are the dishes that come to mind when someone mentions warm-weather foods. I crave skewers, slightly charred, dare I say burnt, and a bit sticky and sweet.

But these salmon skewers feel special, like you went the extra mile. Feel free to cook them longer if you prefer your salmon well done." - César Pérez

There’s s stand you can put your freezer bag on to open & stand the bag to make it easier to fill.

I’ve recently come to the realisation that we eat an unsustainable amount of salmon, hence the need to farm it. I wonder if there was another more sustainable fish that could take this particular marinade? I’m thinking I might try it with mackerel.

I bet you guys didn't show the flipping of the skewer bc it stuck a little bit. The struggle would've been worth watching as well lol
