Ingredients
  

For the Salmon Skewers:

1 lb fresh salmon fillets, skin removed, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 zucchini, cut into 1-inch slices

Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden, soak in water for 30 minutes)

For the Creamy Dill Yogurt Sauce:

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried dill)

1 garlic clove, minced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the salmon cubes and gently toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

    Prepare the Vegetables: While the salmon marinates, chop the red bell pepper and zucchini. Set aside.

      Make the Creamy Dill Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, fresh dill, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

        Assemble the Skewers: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated salmon pieces, bell pepper, and zucchini onto the skewers, alternating between the salmon and vegetables for a colorful presentation.

          Grill the Skewers: Carefully place the skewers on the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the salmon just flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.

            Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Serve the grilled salmon skewers hot, drizzled with the creamy dill yogurt sauce.

              Enjoy: Pair with your favorite side, such as grilled rice or a fresh salad, for a complete meal.
