Salmon Skewers with Dill Sauce

These Salmon Skewers are a fresh, simple way to serve up something a little different. The salmon roasts quickly in the oven while staying tender, with a pop of citrus from thin lemon slices tucked between each piece. Spoon the creamy dill sauce over the top just before serving for a bright, herby finish.

They make a great appetizer or light main, especially when you’re short on time. The lemon pepper seasoning adds quick flavor, and the dill sauce comes together in a minute or two. Serve these straight from the oven with a sprinkle of fresh herbs and you’re set.

Helpful Tips

• Use firm, fresh salmon: It holds its shape better and won’t fall apart on the skewer.
• Fold the lemon slices: Tucking them in keeps them snug and lets the juices soak into the salmon.
• Serve with extra sauce on the side: Guests will want more of that creamy dill goodness.
