Salmon Shashlik from the Electric Grill

Ingredients

1.1 pounds (500 grams) of skin-on, descaled salmon, cut into 4 strips
Coarse sea salt
4 small pieces of potatoes

Step-by-Step Guide

Preparing the Salmon:

First, I carefully descaled the salmon and cut it into four even strips, leaving the skin on for added stability during grilling and to prevent it from falling apart.

Seasoning:

Simplicity is key – I seasoned the salmon strips with just coarse sea salt right before grilling to preserve the freshness and natural flavor of the fish.

Skewering:

I then carefully threaded the salmon strips onto the skewers, starting from the thinner end and finishing at the thicker end, so the skewer could stand upright with the thin end at the top. A piece of potato was placed at the end of each skewer to secure the salmon in place.

The Electric Grill:

My electric shashlik grill from Amazon allows for grilling up to 6 skewers at a time. They stand upright, and the central heat source ensures even cooking. The skewers rotate slowly, resulting in a perfect grilling outcome. A circular grill guard effectively retains heat, shortening cooking time. Best of all, the fat drips into a tray, reducing smoke – ideal for indoor use.

Cooking Time:

After about 30 minutes on the grill, the salmon was perfect. I served it with pearl barley, sautéed vegetables, and a splash of lime juice. The lime beautifully enhances the flavor of the salmon, rounding off the dish perfectly.
