Salmon shashlik

4 servings

40 minutes

Salmon shashlik is a refined dish of Finnish cuisine that harmoniously combines the freshness of seafood and aromatic marinade. Historically, Finns value fish for its rich flavor and nutrition, while grilling over coals gives the dish a special texture. The marinade of soy sauce, honey, and chili pepper creates a balance of sweet, salty, and spicy flavors that highlights the tenderness of salmon. The shashlik cooks quickly—only 20 minutes for marinating and then grilling to a golden color. It is complemented by fresh sweet peppers, olives, and herbs that give the dish a festive appearance. Perfect for both summer picnics and cozy home dinners, creating an atmosphere of a warm northern evening.
