- 1 lemon sliced thinly and halved
- 1 bell pepper cut into large chunks (I used red, yellow and green mixed)
- 1/2 red onion cut into large chunks

Parsley Marinade
- 1/2 cup Italian parsley chopped finely
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
- pinch red chili flakes
Instructions
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least an hour prior to using. Alternately, use metal skewers.
- Prepare the marinade by adding all the ingredients together in a small dish. Mix to combine, and set aside.
- Add the salmon to 4 skewers, alternating salmon and thinly sliced pieces of lemon. Drizzle with 1/4 of the parsley marinade. The marinade can simply be spooned on, or you can use a brush to more evenly coat the skewers.
- Add the artichoke hearts, peppers, and onions to 4 skewers, and drizzle with 1/4 of the parsley marinade, reserving 1/2 of the marinade to add to the finished dish.
- Over a very hot grill, cook the skewers for 4-6 minutes. slip, and cook the other side until the salmon is cooked throughout and veggies are done to preferred doneness.
- Serve the skewers with the remaining parsley sauce.
