Looking for a quick summer dinner that feels a little special without requiring hours in the kitchen? These Honey Ginger Salmon Skewers are sweet, savory, lightly caramelized and packed with fresh flavor. Made with our Garlic Olive Oil and Honey Ginger Balsamic, they are an easy way to turn simple salmon into a restaurant-worthy meal at home.

The Garlic Olive Oil adds a rich, savory base, while the Honey Ginger Balsamic creates a glossy glaze with just the right balance of sweetness, warmth and tang. A splash of fresh lemon keeps everything bright, making these salmon skewers perfect for grilling season, weeknight dinners or casual summer entertaining.

An Easy Salmon Recipe for the Grill or Oven

Salmon cooks quickly, which makes it one of our favorite choices for an easy weeknight meal. Cutting it into cubes allows every piece to become coated in the honey ginger marinade, giving you delicious flavor in every bite.

You can prepare these skewers on an outdoor grill, in a grill pan or under the broiler. Whichever method you choose, keep a close eye on the salmon—it only needs a few minutes per side to become tender, flaky and beautifully caramelized.

Why Garlic Olive Oil and Honey Ginger Balsamic Work So Well Together

Garlic Olive Oil brings savory depth without the need to peel or mince several cloves of garlic. Our Honey Ginger Balsamic adds a delicious blend of sweetness and warming ginger flavor that complements the richness of salmon beautifully.

Together, they create an easy honey ginger glaze that works wonderfully with seafood, chicken, roasted vegetables and even rice bowls. It is one of those versatile olive oil and balsamic pairings your kitchen will reach for again and again.

What to Serve with Honey Ginger Salmon Skewers

Serve these salmon skewers over jasmine rice, coconut rice or a fresh green salad. They are also delicious alongside grilled asparagus, roasted broccoli, snap peas or a colorful summer vegetable medley.

For a fun appetizer, arrange the skewers on a platter with lemon wedges and fresh parsley, then let everyone help themselves. Just be sure to make plenty—they tend to disappear quickly!

Tips for Perfect Salmon Skewers

  • Cut the salmon into evenly sized pieces so they cook at the same rate.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes before grilling.
  • Do not marinate the salmon for more than 30 minutes, as the acidity can begin to change its texture.
  • Leave a little space between each piece of salmon to help it cook evenly.
  • Reserve a portion of the marinade before adding the raw salmon if you would like extra glaze for brushing.

Sweet, Savory and Ready in Minutes

These Honey Ginger Salmon Skewers with Garlic Olive Oil are proof that an easy dinner can still be full of flavor. With a simple marinade, a few fresh ingredients and just minutes of cooking time, you will have a bright and delicious meal that is perfect for any night of the week.

Honey Ginger Salmon Skewers with Garlic Olive Oil

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds skinless salmon fillets, cut into 1½-inch cubes

  • 3 tablespoons Garlic Olive Oil

  • ¼ cup Honey Ginger Balsamic

  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or green onions

  • Lemon wedges, for serving

  • Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

  1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Garlic Olive Oil, Honey Ginger Balsamic, soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, black pepper and sea salt.

  3. Reserve approximately 2 tablespoons of the marinade in a separate small bowl for brushing the salmon while it cooks.

  4. Add the salmon cubes to the remaining marinade and gently toss until evenly coated. Refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes.

  5. Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates if needed.

  6. Thread the salmon cubes onto the skewers, leaving a small amount of space between each piece.

  7. Grill the skewers for 3 to 4 minutes per side, brushing with the reserved marinade, until the salmon is lightly caramelized and flakes easily with a fork.

  8. Transfer the skewers to a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped parsley or green onions.

  9. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges, rice and your favorite grilled or roasted vegetables.
