Golden, lemony salmon skewers with serious seaside energy.

Instructions
TO MAKE YOUR SALMON SKEWERS.
- Position the oven rack about 5–6 inches below the broiler and preheat the broiler on high. Line a sheet pan with foil.
- In a mixing bowl whisk together olive oil, garlic, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, lemon zest, and lemon juice, until evenly combined.
- Add the salmon cubes and gently toss until evenly coated in the marinade. Let the salmon sit for 15 minutes so the flavors absorb.
- Thread the salmon onto skewers, leaving a small gap between cubes so the heat can circulate evenly.
- Place the skewers on the prepared sheet pan and broil for 4 minutes. Turn the skewers and broil for another 2–4 minutes until the edges are lightly charred and the centers remain tender.
TO MAKE THE LEMON PARSLEY YOGURT DIP.
- In a small bowl mix together your greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, parsley, and salt until smooth.
TO ASSEMBLE.
- Transfer your salmon skewers to a serving dish and serve them with your yogurt dip in a small bowl on the side. Optionally, finish your dish with extra parsley and flaky sea salt.
