Instructions
- Make the chimichurri sauce first. Place cilantro, parsley, kosher salt, cumin, red wine vinegar and crushed red pepper in a food processor. Pulse the food processor and slowly add in the olive oil until the mixture emulsifies, about 1 minute. Let set at room temperature until ready to use.
- Season the salmon liberally with salt and pepper.
- To assemble skewers, thread one piece of salmon followed by one lime slice. 5 - 6 salmon pieces per skewer. Repeat until all salmon is skewered.
- Preheat a grill over medium high heat. Spray grill with non-stick spray.
- Grill salmon 2 - 3 minutes per side or until cooked through.
- Remove skewers from grill, drizzle with chimichurri and serve.
- You will likely have left over chimichurri, keep leftovers refrigerated and pour over grilled steaks and chicken.
