Alongside being tasty, this summer meal is incredibly rich in nutrients. Salmon is rich in Omega-3 fats and also full of micronutrients like iron, B vitamins, and the antioxidant mineral selenium.
Selenium is particularly important because it helps protect against any mercury that may be present in the fish.
A side of cauliflower rice tossed with herbs, and a squeeze of lemon and lime juice would be a great base for these skewers. You can also toss some veggies on the grill and serve those alongside these skewers, too.
