Fire up the grill! These salmon skewers are bringing bold flavors to your plate. Coated in a zesty spice rub and grilled to perfection, each juicy bite delivers just the right amount of smoky heat. They’re paired with a creamy, citrusy labneh sauce loaded with fresh herbs, cucumber and a hint of garlic for cool contrast. Serve it all alongside a bright herb salad and a squeeze of charred lemon, and you’ve got a vibrant, Mediterranean-inspired meal that’s made for sunny days and al fresco dinners.
