Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch cubes

1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 zucchini, sliced into thick rounds

1 red onion, cut into wedges

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 teaspoons garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Skewers (soaked in water if using wooden)

For the Creamy Dill Yogurt Sauce:

1 cup Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 garlic clove, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined.

    Marinate the Salmon: Add the salmon cubes into the marinade, ensuring they're well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.

      Prepare the Vegetables: While the salmon marinates, toss the red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion in olive oil, salt, and pepper.

        Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated salmon, red bell pepper, zucchini, and onion alternately onto the skewers.

          Preheat the Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).

            Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the salmon is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.

              Prepare the Creamy Dill Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.

                Serve: Once the skewers are done, remove them from the grill. Serve hot with the creamy dill yogurt sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.
