Salmon-stuffed peppers, or salmon and bell pepper skewers? Either choice is an excellent one, but if you are on a grilling spree, you will want to choose the latter and save the stuffed peppers for chillier days.
Skewers are always "fun food" for outdoor parties and backyard gatherings, and no, salmon is not just for posh people, it is for everyone, so take a skewer and indulge in this widely available and tasty fish.
For your skewers to be a sizzling success, it is of utmost importance that the cubed fish and vegetables are of similar-sized pieces; this will ensure that the kebabs grill evenly.
Choose your favorite color of bell pepper, or alternate between red, yellow, orange, and green for visual interest and an abundance of vitamin C in your meal.
Red bell peppers are an adequate source of vitamin C content, and when eaten with spinach or other iron-rich foods, they may help to increase your body's iron stores.
Grab your favorite serving bowl and chop up some tomatoes and spinach for a quick salad. You can also put a unique twist on dinner and serve up a warm spinach and pear salad alongside your salmon skewers - salmon and pears are a tasty combination indeed!
