Ingredients
1¼ pounds Skin-on salmon fillet, no more than 1 inch thick (preferably tail end)
2 tablespoons Thai red-curry paste
2 tablespoons Safflower oil
Lime wedges, for serving
Directions
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Cut the salmon into 16 cubes (about 1 to 1.5 inches each), keeping the skin attached when possible for structural integrity.
Thread 2 salmon cubes onto each of 8 wooden or metal skewers, spacing them slightly apart.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Thai red-curry paste and safflower oil until smooth and well combined.
Brush the curry-oil mixture generously over all sides of the salmon skewers.
Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill the skewers for 4 to 5 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and is cooked through with lightly charred edges.
Transfer the skewers to a serving platter and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the salmon.
Comments
Salmon is consistently available at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, and Kroger in Charlotte, and thai red curry paste stocks at most major chains, though ALDI may require a second stop. At eight servings, this runs roughly $3–4 per serving depending on salmon price and quality, which is reasonable for a lean protein dish. The stated 10 minutes ignores cubing and threading salmon onto skewers, bringing real time closer to 20 minutes, and these skewers need immediate consumption off heat or they dry out fast. It's a clean weeknight option for a crowd, reheats poorly, and the lime and curry are standard pantry finds that work year-round.
