Here’s a great grilled dish that would work well for the summer. You need to set the salmon skewers over high heat using the freshest salmon you can find.

INGREDIENTS      

    * 1/2 cup soy sauce
    * 1/4 cup mirin rice wine or rice vinegar
    * 1/4 cup brown sugar
    * 2 Tbsp minced garlic
    * 2 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
    * 1/4 cup minced green onions
    * 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
    * Pinch chili pepper flakes

    * 1 lb salmon fillet, rinsed, cut into 1 to 1 1/2-inch cubes
    * 1 lb fresh pineapple, cut into 1 to 1 1/2-inch chunks
    * 2 green onions, cut into 1-inch segments
    * 8 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for at least 20 minutes before using

DIRECTIONS      

• Combine soy sauce, mirin or rice vinegar, and brown sugar in a medium bowl until the sugar has been properly dissolved. Mix in fresh ginger, minced green onions, chili pepper flakes, and vegetable oil. Add in cubes of salmon and coat it thoroughly with marinade. Place it in the refrigerator to chill for an hour or two.
• Take out the salmon out of the marinade then put it in a sauce pan allow it to boil then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes. Set aside.
• Line salmon, pineapple, and onion pieces onto the skewers. If you would be using a grill, set the grill for high and direct heat. Oil the grill grates before putting the skewers onto it. Cover. If you choose to cook with an oven broiler, place the salmon pieces on the rack of the broiling pan providing 6 inches away from each other. Give it 2 to 4 minutes before turning to cook the other side. Use the marinade as baste.
• Serve while hot. Makes up to 4 servings.
