These grilled pineapple teriyaki salmon skewers combine sweet caramelized pineapple with smoky salmon and a sticky teriyaki glaze, perfect for easy summer BBQs and impromptu gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless wild or farmed salmon, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup fresh or canned pineapple chunks
  • ½ cup teriyaki sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
  • Wooden or metal skewers (soaked if wooden)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and toasted sesame oil to prepare the marinade.
  2. Cut salmon into 1-inch cubes and drain pineapple chunks if canned. Halve pineapple chunks if too large.
  3. Toss salmon cubes gently in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes (do not exceed 30 minutes).
  4. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  5. Alternate threading salmon cubes and pineapple chunks onto each skewer, leaving space between pieces for even cooking.
  6. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
  7. Grill skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, turning carefully with tongs. Brush with reserved marinade once or twice during grilling.
  8. Remove skewers from grill and let rest for 3 minutes.
  9. Sprinkle sliced green onions on top before serving.

Notes

Marinate salmon for 15-20 minutes to avoid mushy texture. Soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes before grilling. Avoid overcrowding the grill for even cooking. Baste skewers once or twice with reserved marinade during grilling. Watch pineapple closely to prevent burning.
