Bacon Jam Salmon Skewers
Bacon Jam Salmon Skewers. It’s Father’s Day weekend and we’ve once again partnered with Secret Island Salmon to create these mouthwatering salmon skewers! It’s all about firing up the grill and Secret Island Salmon has you covered with their perfectly sized salmon portions that are so easy to prepare for skewering! Add some of your favorite veggies, bacon and sauce and you’ve got a healthy and delicious dinner for Dad! We used zucchini, yellow squash, and red bell pepper to add all the summery colors and smothered the skewers with a bacon jam. As always Secret Island Salmon is sustainable, healthy and delivered right to your doorstep. Each piece of salmon is individually sealed and comes in their signature blue box, which makes for a great gift as well. So order a box for yourself and maybe a father figure that loves salmon too and get 10% off now using the code DANIELASDISH10!!
Summer is all about the skewers and fathers day weekend is all about the grilling. So we decided to throw some skewers on the grill to help celebrate fathers day weekend. And these salmon skewers are perfect and easy for Friday night grilling.
The salmon is smothered in a bacon jam then threaded on skewers between thick-cut applewood bacon, zucchini, yellow squash, and red bell pepper. These not only have all the colors of summer but they also have all the flavors of summer. And like I said they’re easy which is exactly what you need when it’s nice out and you want to enjoy the weather.
We also paired these skewers with a dipping sauce…because you know I can’t have salmon without a sauce. So we mixed some sour cream with the bacon jam and it was all just the perfect combination of flavors. I am pretty much addicted to this skewer combo.
Anyway I am going to get back to my rum and orange juice now...had to pair these fun summery skewers with my favorite tropical summer drink of course !! Happy fathers day weekend to all the amazing dads out there !! We hope you’re all celebrating with good food, good drinks, and good company like we are !!
