Gather your ingredients. Place the salmon on a cutting board and chop into 1/2-inch cubes, then slice the lemons. If you're incorporating additional ingredients (such as zucchini, onion, tomato, pineapple, mango, etc.), chop them now, as well.

Tip

If using wooden skewers, be sure to pre-soak them in water for at least 15 minutes before using so that they don't catch fire on the grill.

Step 3

Once you're finished preparing the skewers, generously coat them with avocado oil (or a high-temperature cooking oil).
