Air Fryer Salmon Skewers

What an easy and flavourful salmon dish, enhanced with a delicious spicy and sweet mayo sauce!

Ingredients:

8 oz (200g) salmon filets

bell pepper

onion

lemon to serve

4 - 6" wooden skewers

 

Marinade:

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp minced garlic

1/2 tsp dry thyme

salt and pepper to taste

1/2 tsp spicy chili oil

1 tbsp olive oil

 

Sauce:

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 tbsps sweet chili sauce

1 tsp spicy chili oil

1 tbsp honey

 

Begin by mixing the marinade ingredients together. Cut the salmon into 1 - 1 1/2" cubes and the bell pepper and onion into squares about the same size as the salmon cubes. Toss the salmon and vegetables into the marinade and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Soak the wooden skewers in water at the same time. (Note: make sure the skewers fit your air fryer basket. If not they may just need to be cut to fit)

Mix the sauce ingredients together and set aside.

After marinating, thread the vegetables and salmon onto the skewers and preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 5 minutes. Discard the marinade. Then place the skewers into the basket in a single layer. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Serves 2 drizzled with sauce and a squeeze of lemon.

Pork, Veggie and Watermelon Kebabs

Super easy summer staple ... kebabs. And totally customizable. Use your favourite veggies and you can swap out Italian salad dressing for whatever's in your fridge. Grilled watermelon takes on a smokey, sweet flavour that becomes surprisingly firm. Don't like watermelon? Grill up some pineapple or peaches instead!

Ingredients:

3 or 4 pork loin cutlets

Onion

Bell pepper

Watermelon

Zucchini

Mushrooms 

Italian salad dressing

First, soak wooden skewers in water for 15 or 20 minutes.

Cut the pork in squares and pour some salad dressing over the meat to marinate for about 1 hour in the fridge. These cutlets were about 1/2" thick so they cooked up quickly!

Slice the onion in half and pull layers of onion apart. Slice the pepper in squares and cut the zucchini in thick slices. Cut thick chunks of watermelon and the mushrooms can be left whole.

Feed everything onto the skewers then pour Italian dressing over it all.

Grill on a hot BBQ about 15 minutes then serve with rice.

Serves 3 or 4
