How to Make Asian Salmon Skewers With Peanut Butter Sauce

If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil.
Add the salmon fillets (or chicken breasts) to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Cut the marinated salmon (or chicken) into 1-inch cubes.
Thread the salmon (or chicken) cubes onto the prepared skewers, alternating with bell pepper and onion chunks.
Preheat your grill or a large skillet to medium-high heat.
Grill or pan-fry the skewers for approximately 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the salmon (or chicken) is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
While the skewers are cooking, prepare the peanut butter sauce by whisking together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, lime juice, and a splash of water until smooth and creamy.
Serve the grilled skewers immediately, drizzled generously with the peanut butter sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions (optional).
