For the Skewers
- 1 1/2 lbs. sockeye salmon, pin bones and skin removed, cut into 2-inch cubes
- 2 zucchini squash, very thinly sliced
- 1-2 lemons, thinly sliced
- 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp. salt

- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2/3 cup cucumber, chopped
- 1 Tbsp. wine vinegar

- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the grill.
- Add all of the yogurt dipping sauce ingredients to a food processor or blender and whirl to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Add the cubed salmon and zucchini to a bowl. In a smaller bowl, stir together the oil, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt and garlic powder until combined. Pour over the salmon and zucchini and toss to coat.
- Layer the skewers with one cube of salmon, followed by a zucchini, then a lemon slice. Repeat until the skewers are full, being careful not to overcrowd the skewer for even cooking.
