Calories 259 kcal

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped mixed fresh herbs such as parsley, oregano, thyme, and rosemary
1 clove garlic minced
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 pound salmon fillet cut into 1-inch (25-mm) cubes
Oil for the grill
Lemon wedges for serving (optional)

In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice, oil, herbs, garlic, and salt together.
Place the salmon cubes in a resealable plastic bag or in a medium bowl and pour the marinade over.
Marinate the fish in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes.
While the fish is marinating Preheat a grill to medium heat (350 to 400°F). Oil the grill grate well.
Thread the fish onto skewers allowing the pieces of fish to touch, but not squishing them together.
Grill the skewers, turning once, until tender and just cooked through. The fish should flake easily with a fork when prodded. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

Type of skewer--If you're using wooden skewers, you'll need to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using them. Metal skewers don't require any soaking.
Cutting the fish--Cut the fish into even-sized pieces, but don't cut the pieces too small or they will be difficult to thread onto the skewer.
Marinating time--Don't marinate your fish for longer than 30 minutes or it may become mushy.
Preparing the grill--Oil your grill grate well before cooking as fish tends to stick. When flipping the skewers, don't force them off the grill. They'll release when they're ready.
