I like to make my own teriyaki salmon marinade… This helps me lower the calories and ensure there are no preservatives in the salmon kebabs.
Here are some tips and tricks to help keep this Japanese teriyaki salmon recipe healthy and low calorie.
Low Calorie BBQ Salmon Grill Tips:
- Olive oil spray… save 100’s of calories and lots of fat, and use a fine mist of olive oil. Do this in place of drizzling or brushing your food with olive oil.
- Make Your Own Teriyaki Sauce… when you make your own teriyaki sauce, you can control how much sugar and oil goes into the recipe. This can help you save 100’s of calories and lots of fat!
Shopping List for Grilled Salmond Kebabs:
- Low-sodium soy sauce (or gluten free Tamari)
- Honey
- Light brown sugar
- Rice vinegar
- Toasted sesame oil
- Fresh ginger
- Garlic
- Cornstarch
- Salmon
- Olive oil spray
How to Make Healthy Salmon Teriyaki Skewers
This grilled salmon marinade is great on all cuts of meat, and on veggies too! The marinated salmon skewers recipe can be modified easily…
Try Adding Veggies: You can add red onion, bell pepper, and pineapple slices to the skewers to make more (because with that much added to each skewer you’ll need more skewers!)
How to Make Teriyaki Salmon on the Grill:
- To a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, water, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic and cornstarch. Mix together.
- Add the salmon to the homemade teriyaki sauce, and marinate for 10 minutes to an hour.
- Heat a grill over medium high heat.
- Thread the salmon onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water first to avoid burning). Then spray with olive oil.
- Add the skewers to the preheated grill, and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning often, until the salmon is cooked through.
