  4.0 – 12 reviews  • Salmon
Quick-cooking salmon lets you get dinner on the table in a matter of minutes. Here, Ree cuts the fish into chunks and threads it onto skewers to further speed up the cooking time.
Level: Easy
Total: 35 min
Active: 25 min
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  2. 1 orange, zested and juiced
  3. 1 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for serving
  4. 3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, plus more for serving
  5. 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  6. 1 clove garlic, grated
  7. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  8. 1/2 cup olive oil
  9. 2 pounds salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch chunks
  10. 2 cups arugula
  11. 1 cup Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Set the oven to broil. Line a half-sheet pan (13-by-18 inches) with foil.
  2. Combine the citrus zests, juices, parsley, dill, paprika, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. While stirring, add the olive oil until combined; set aside.
  3. Add the salmon to a separate bowl. Pour half of the sauce mixture over the salmon, tossing to completely coat it. Thread the salmon onto four 15-inch metal skewers. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
  4. Add the salmon skewers to the sheet pan crosswise, allowing the skewers to hang off the edges and keeping the salmon from touching the pan.
  5. Broil until the edges of the salmon become golden and it is cooked through (no need to turn), 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bed of arugula.
  6. While the salmon rests, spread the Greek yogurt in a shallow bowl. Top with the remaining sauce mixture.
  7. Garnish the salmon with more parsley and dill. Serve with the Greek yogurt on the side.

It was delicious I just add some chives to the sauce and I made salmon fillets instead of skewers. I will make that recipe more than once for sure!!!
Thomas Neal
Made this recipe for my family and everyone loved it. Definitely will make again!!!
Michael Holmes
So delicious, quick, and easy.
Austin Boone
This was really easy to make and my family thought it was delicious – even those who don’t normally love salmon. Next time, I’ll use 2 lemons instead of 1 because the orange flavor was a little over-powering.

I’ll change that ridiculous review, and I totally agree with anonymous, I have been looking for a salmon recipe that is not the same ole, same ole, and LOVE CITRUS for summer! And dill to boot, so EASY, DELISH! Oh and the yogurt is awesome in itself! Way to go Ree…again

I think people who leave a rating without a comment or before trying are ridiculous.
