Kabobs of Salmon Spirals and Shellfish

Number of Servings: 
4
Ingredients: 
3/4 pound salmon fillets, skinned
4 sprigs fresh dillweed
1 medium zucchini
1 medium-sized yellow bell pepper
1/2 pound sea scallops or medium shrimp
1/3 cup lime juice
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 Teaspoon chopped fresh dillweed
Cucumber Dill Sauce
1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise
1/4 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup bottled Lemon Butter Dill Cooking Sauce (available at most supermarket seafood counters)
1/2 cup finely chopped, peeled and seeded cucumber
2 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions: 

Cut salmon into strips 5" x 1 1/2". Place a sprig of dillweed on each strip. Curl each salmon strip to form a spiral; secure with a toothpick and set aside.

Cut zucchini in half lengthwise, then cut diagonally into 1/2" pieces; set aside. Cut pepper into quarters; remove seeds and stem. Cut each piece in half. Thread one salmon spiral (remove toothpicks) alternating with scallops and/or shrimp, zucchini and peppers onto 4 skewers. Place skewers in a large shallow dish.

Combine lime juice and the next three ingredients; mix well and pour over kabobs. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.

Remove kabobs from marinade; discard marinade. Coat grill rack with vegetable cooking spray. Place kabobs on grill 4 to 5 inches from hot coals. Grill, turning once, just until scallops are milky and opaque, and salmon begins to flake when tested with a fork, about 4 to 5 minutes on each side.

Cucumber Dill Sauce

Combine ingredients and chill until serving time. To serve, spread 1/4 of the cucumber sauce onto individual serving plate and place kabob on top of sauce.

  • I am finally convinced that the cholesterol found in shrimp isn’t going to raise my blood cholesterol and may actually decrease my risk of heart disease.  Are there any other nutrients found in shrimp that can make me healthier?
    Happy Holidays!

We already know that shrimp is low in fat and calories. But if you are concerned about cholesterol, there is good news. You do not have to give up shrimp! Research shows and dietitians concur that the high percentage of "good fats" in shrimp reduces the impact of cholesterol. So enjoy shrimp as part of a balanced - and delicious - diet.
