Ingredients

11/4 Lbs (600 g) salmon fillets, skinned
3 Tablespoons finely chopped fresh
2 Tablespoons Indian Grilling and
1 To 2 tablespoons dried bread crumbs
8 Bamboo skewers, soaked in water for
30 Minutes
2 Tablespoons oil
1 Inch (2.5 cm) open on either end. Firmly

Directions

1
Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
2
Chop the skinned salmon fillets finely using a knife or food processor, being careful not to pur&# 195;Â©e the meat into a paste.
3
In a large bowl, combine the chopped salmon, 3 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tablespoons of Indian Grilling and Roasting Rub, and 1 tablespoon of dried bread crumbs.
4
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until just combined, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed.
5
Moisten your hands with water to prevent sticking, then take about 1/4 cup (75 g) of the salmon mixture.
6
Form the mixture into a small patty directly onto a skewer, pressing it firmly so it adheres well.
7
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
8
Test one skewer by grilling it briefly; if the patty holds together, proceed to shape the remaining mixture into 7 equal portions on the remaining skewers.
9
If the test patty falls apart, return the mixture to the bowl, add an additional tablespoon of bread crumbs, mix again, and re-form the patties.
10
Place the salmon skewers on the grill and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through.
11
Brush lightly with oil halfway through cooking to keep them moist and help them brown.
12
Remove from the grill and serve immediately with your choice of chutney or raita.

Note

Ensure bamboo skewers are soaked for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from catching fire.

If the salmon mixture seems too loose to hold its shape on the skewer, add an extra tablespoon of dried bread crumbs to help bind it.

Serve these kebabs hot with cucumber raita or spicy apricot chutney for a refreshing contrast to the warm spices.
