Ingredients
  

1 lb salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes

1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 small red onion, cut into wedges

8-10 bamboo skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon: In a bowl, mix the teriyaki sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade for basting later. Add the salmon cubes to the remaining marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to infuse the flavors.

    Prepare the Skewers: While the salmon marinates, prepare your vegetables. Cut the bell peppers and onion into bite-sized pieces. Thread the marinated salmon and vegetables alternately onto the soaked bamboo skewers. Each skewer should have a good balance of salmon and veggies.

      Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high and lightly oil the surface.

        Grill the Skewers: Once the grill is hot, place the skewers on it. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, basting with the reserved teriyaki marinade for added flavor and moisture. Be careful not to overcook the salmon; it should be opaque and flake apart easily.

          Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving. You can serve these skewers over a bed of rice or with a side of steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
