Fish of the Day: Salmon and Baby Artichokes Skewers

I m a big fan of grilled skewers because they are healthy, easy to make and pretty to serve. Today, i put together two fantastic sources of nutrients: Artichoke brings anti-oxidants and fibres, is great for the liver, the digestion, brings the bad cholesterol down and is also a hangover cure. Salmon will deliver its proteins and Omega-3. This recipe is tasty and guilt-free.

                                  

For 4 people :  
600g salmon fillet, diced
6 baby artichokes
3 lemons
2 garlic cloves pressed
1 small fresh chili, crushed
6tbs olive oil
Salt and pepper

In a salad bowl, mix together 4tbs olive oil, the garlic, the crushed chili, the juice of 1 lemon and the salmon pieces. Reserve.

Cut the chip of the artichokes off.

Cut the  artichokes in 4 and boil them for 2 minutes in a mix of water, salt and 1 lemon juice. Take them out of the water and let them cool off for 5-10minutes. Spoon the remaining olive oil over.

Cut the last lemon in slices. Alternate pieces of salmon, lemon and artichoke on the skewers. Cook under the grill or on a barbecue (weather permitting..) for 5minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve with rocket and Parmesan salad or wild rice.
