bbq season

The weather has been behaving recently which has allowed us to enjoy the evenings and to finally fire up the grill. For the first BBQ of the season, I decided to throw together some kebabs. Chicken and salmon (obviously) were the meats of choice.

I marinated the chicken overnight in a Ziploc bag. The salmon kebabs only need to be marinated 30 minutes in advance. I grilled the kebabs for about approximately 15-18 minutes, flipping only once. And by "I", I mean Will. :)

Salmon Marinade

Soy Sauce (1/4 cup)
Sesame Oil (1/4 cup)
Chopped garlic (3 tbsp)
Sesame seeds (optional)


Chicken Marinade

Olive Oil (1/2 cup)
Chopped garlic (3 tbsp)
Chopped Basil (1/4 cup)
Salt & pepper (to taste)
