Herby Swordfish & Salmon Skewers
Herby Swordfish & Salmon Skewers. Embracing all the summer vibes and grilling up some seafood and veggie skewers. Salmon and swordfish paired with zucchini, summer squash, and red bell peppers. Marinated in herby olive oil and paired with a Lemon Crema. Because grilling is always more fun when skewers are involved and maybe some cocktails too ;)) !!
Well it is finally here…my favorite day of the week. I absolutely love Thursdays, especially Thursday nights because it is the official start to my weekend. As some of you may already know by now, my company is on a 4/10 schedule which means we work 4 days a week instead of 5. So Thursday nights are basically my Friday. But aside from that, I also having been loving Thursdays recently because it means back to the shore.
Tonight we are firing up the grill and doing some fun, summer skewers. They’re so vibrant, colorful, and most importantly delicious. You can obviously do skewers so many different ways, but we love a good seafood and veggie combo. We use zucchini, summer squash, and red bell pepper for our veggies. For the fish, we like to do a combo of swordfish and salmon. Both fishes are perfect for skewers. Then we marinate it all in herby olive oil and white wine and serve them alongside a tangy Lemon Crema.
And for cocktails…well we’ve got a variety, but tonight I am having a rum and orange juice. It's the perfect tropical drink to pair with these fun skewers. So cheers to another summer weekend and being back in my happy place !!
