Ingredients
  • 1 pound salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
  • 2 tablespoon grapeseed or vegetable oil
  • eight 6-inch metal skewers, or wooden skewers soaked in water for 1 hour
  • salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
  1. In a small bowl, whisk the maple syrup with lemon juice, both mustards, and 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil.
  2. Thread the salmon onto skewers, and season all over with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil until shimmering.
  4. Add half of the skewers and cook over medium-high heat until browned on the bottom (approximately 1 to 2 minutes).
  5. Flip the skewers — basting with the mustard glaze and turning occasionally — until glazed and nearly cooked through (about 5 minutes total).
  6. Repeat with the remaining oil and skewers.
  7. Transfer to a platter and serve!
