Ingredients
  

For the Salmon Skewers:

1 pound of fresh salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon honey

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

6-8 wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning)

For the Peach Salsa:

2 ripe peaches, diced into small cubes

1/4 of a medium red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, seeds removed and finely chopped (optional, for a spicy kick)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Salt, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade:

    In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk thoroughly until well blended.

      Marinate the Salmon:

        Gently add the cubed salmon into the mixture, using a spatula or your hands to carefully toss and ensure each piece is coated with the marinade. Once coated, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

          Make the Peach Salsa:

            In another bowl, mix together the diced peaches, chopped red onion, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine and let the salsa sit at room temperature to develop its flavors while the salmon marinates.

              Preheat the Grill:

                Preheat your outdoor grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat, allowing it to reach a suitable cooking temperature.

                  Assemble the Skewers:

                    Thread the marinated salmon cubes onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece to ensure even cooking and adequate airflow.

                      Grill the Salmon:

                        Place the skewers on the grill, cooking them for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side. Grill until the salmon is cooked through, opaque in color, and flakes easily with a fork. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.

                          Serve:

                            Once grilled to perfection, remove the salmon skewers from the grill and place them on a serving platter. Pair them with the vibrant peach salsa for a fresh and zesty accompaniment.

                              Enjoy:

                                Serve the skewers warm, inviting your guests to dig into this delightful dish topped with the colorful peach salsa. Enjoy the medley of flavors!
