- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1⁄2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
- 1 pound center-cut salmon, cut into 1-inch cubes

Directions
- Soak 8–10 bamboo skewers in water 30 minutes before grilling.
- In small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons oil, cilantro, lemon juice and zest, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- Season salmon with salt and pepper. Toss in medium bowl with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Thread salmon on skewers, using 2 skewers side-by-side with small gap (to stabilize fish on grill).
