Savor Summer with Grilled Salmon Skewers and Creamy Dill Yogurt Sauce

Learn how to make delicious Grilled Salmon Skewers with Creamy Dill Yogurt Sauce. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Here’s what you’ll need to bring this dish to life:

  • 1 pound fresh salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 lemons, cut into wedges
  • Wooden or metal skewers
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

If you’re out of fresh dill, dried dill works in a pinch—just use about half the amount. And if you’re not a fan of Greek yogurt, feel free to swap it for sour cream for a richer sauce.

Instructions

Let’s walk through the steps to create this delightful dish:

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  2. In a bowl, toss the salmon cubes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Thread the salmon cubes onto the skewers, alternating with lemon wedges.
  4. Grill the skewers for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. I always find that keeping an eye on the grill and turning the skewers gently helps achieve that perfect char.
  5. While the salmon is grilling, make the dill yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, fresh dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well blended.
  6. Once the skewers are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. This brief pause lets the juices redistribute, keeping the salmon moist and flavorful.
  7. Serve the skewers with a generous dollop of the creamy dill yogurt sauce on the side.

And there you have it—a simple yet sophisticated dish that brings a touch of elegance to any dinner table. These skewers are a testament to the power of uncomplicated cooking, just like my mom’s ability to transform humble ingredients into something wonderful.
