Ingredients

1 lemon, zested and juiced

1 orange, zested and juiced

1 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for serving

3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, plus more for serving

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1 clove garlic, grated

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup olive oil

2 pounds salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch chunks

2 cups arugula

1 cup Greek yogurt

Directions

Special equipment:
four 15-inch metal skewers
  1. Set the oven to broil. Line a half-sheet pan (13-by-18 inches) with foil.
  2. Combine the citrus zests, juices, parsley, dill, paprika, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a bowl. While stirring, add the olive oil until combined; set aside.
  3. Add the salmon to a separate bowl. Pour half of the sauce mixture over the salmon, tossing to completely coat it. Thread the salmon onto four 15-inch metal skewers. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
  4. Add the salmon skewers to the sheet pan crosswise, allowing the skewers to hang off the edges and keeping the salmon from touching the pan.
  5. Broil until the edges of the salmon become golden and it is cooked through (no need to turn), 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bed of arugula.
  6. While the salmon rests, spread the Greek yogurt in a shallow bowl. Top with the remaining sauce mixture.
  7. Garnish the salmon with more parsley and dill. Serve with the Greek yogurt on the side.

It was delicious 😋 I just add some chives to the sauce and I made salmon fillets instead of skewers. I will make that recipe more than once for sure!!!
