Salmon Kebabs –

During the summer months, you don’t always want to eat a heavy meal and fish is one way to get your protein in without feeling sluggish. Kebabs are one of the best ways to figure out portion size and it makes cooking so much easier. These Salmon Kebabs combine both of these tactics. They are perfect for the active individual on the move as well as a light family meal.

Kebabs make portion size calculations so much easier and this recipe is just 276 calories for this serving for 1. Salmon is a fantastic source of protein, but is most notable for those healthy Omega-3 & 6 fatty acids. We should all be adding fish to our meals a few times a week for those fatty acids. Your prep time for chopping will be less than 10 minutes and the fish only takes 3-4 minutes to cook. These Salmon Kebabs are perfect for lunch or dinner and easy to introduce into your weekly diet. The nutritional facts below do not include the added salad or potato wedges, so adjust accordingly if you are tracking your calories.

Salmon Kebabs are light, wholesome and healthy, perfect for those on the move and busy families. Fish is your friend!
