GRILLED SALMON SKEWERS!! 

If you can find (or grow) them, use sturdy rosemary branches, stripped of leaves, as skewers for these Italian salmon kebabs; they’ll add a subtle, smoky flavor that hints of pine. Oil your grill well to prevent sticking, don’t move the kebabs around unnecessarily and keep a close eye on the fire to avoid flare-ups.

Prep Time:	30 minutes
Ready in:	30 minutes
Yield:	4 servings, 2 skewers each
Ease of Prep:	Easy

Recipe Ingredients
	2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
	2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
	2 cloves garlic , minced
	1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
	1 teaspoon lemon juice
	1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
	1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
	1 pound center-cut salmon fillet , skinned (see Tip) and cut into 1-inch cubes
	1 pint cherry tomatoes

Recipe Directions

1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
