    Ingredients for Salmon skewers with orange honey mustard glaze: salmon, honey, olive oil, orange and seeded mustard
    • salmon- you will need three - four pieces, aim for centre cuts as they are wider. Approx 800 grams will feed 4 people. (Mine was frozen when I took this picture, but I defrosted it before marinating.
    • seeded mustard- if you don't have seeded mustard, you can use dijon, but to be honest, the texture is much better with the seeded mustard.

    Expert Tips and FAQs

    The hardest thing about this recipe is ensuring you cook the salmon through, without overcooking it. It needs to be 63º celsius or 145ºF to be cooked through according to food safety guides. The best way to check is with a digital thermometer!

    How do you stop wooden skewers from burning when cooking?

    Soak them in water for a minimum of 30 minutes before using them.

    Can I use frozen salmon?

    Yes! I leave it to defrost in the fridge before using.

    What should i serve my salmon skewers with?

    My kids love them with veggies! Otherwise, these sweet potato fries are perfect for making homemade fish and chips or serve them with some Asparagus, bean and broccoli green salad with goats cheese dressing for a change.

      Salmon is such a great fish for kids. What can I use so my 6 month old can have these instead of honey?

        Hi Alana, you could use rice malt syrup or maple syrup.
