Greek-inspired souvlaki salmon skewers are full of flavor: with salmon, lemon, bell pepper and red onion skewered and grilled up. Serve with a creamy yogurt feta sauce and pita bread. Easy, healthy and absolutely delicious!
Is it just me, or is food on a stick just more fun to eat? We are obsessed with fajita chicken skewers and chipotle grilled shrimp skewers as well.

These souvlaki salmon skewers are absolutely gorgeous (I love a good rainbow on my plate), but so easy to prep as well.
The feta yogurt sauce takes this simple recipe over the top! And the fact that you're cooking on the grill means clean up is easy. So many reasons to love this recipe!
Why you’ll ♡ souvlaki salmon skewers
- they are fresh, healthy and delicious
- you can have dinner on the table in just 30 minutes
- cooking them on the grill makes clean up easy
Recipe tips
- I recommend using sturdy metal skewers to handle the weight of the salmon and veggies
- if you need to use wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent the sticks from burning and breaking
- make sure you grease the grill well with oil before grilling the salmon. Brush with an oiled brush or carefully spray with oil
- if your salmon has skin on it, just leave it on, you can gently pry it off after cooking through
- serve with the yogurt feta sauce as well as grilled pita or naan bread
Variations
- swap the salmon for chicken, and cook for 10 minutes total
- swap bell peppers for zucchini or mushrooms
- swap the feta yogurt sauce for this green goddess dressing
- try one of these 7 spice blends on the salmon and vegetables

Haha you should totally start a "will it grill" series! So many fun possibilities 🙂 These skewers look SO delicious! Salmon is our favorite and I'm loving how simple these are to make! That yogurt feta sauce sounds heavenly!
Denise says
I LOVE salmon (what a Canadian cliche am I?) Thanks, Jessica!
Danielle says
Haha I'm loving the idea of the will it grill series! Cookies on a grill actually sound pretty interesting! These skewers look so delicious, especially with the sauce. Popping over to check out the recipe 😉
Denise says
I was thinking about it...I could use our pizza stone and I bet those cookies would grill 😉 Thanks, Danielle!
Izzy says
hahaha! I could see my husband saying the same thing about the cookies on the grill! I pay the electric bill in our house though so I always get to have it as cold as I want! I haven't made any kabobs this summer and I think I need to buy me some of those metal skewers because these look so good!
Denise says
We don't have air conditioning, since it's only this hot for a short stretch up here! You should totally get some metal skewers, so much easier to flip and you can totally load them up!

This combines some of my FAVORITE foods - and I can't get enough salmon these days. Pinned immediately!
Denise says
Yes, I'm LOVING salmon these days! Can't get enough of it 😉 Thanks, Dani!
Helen @ Scrummy Lane says
Coincidentally, we had salmon and roasted veggies for dinner. We always enjoy it, but I love the sound of this! A bit different, but given a bit of pizzazz from that amazing-sounding sauce!
Anyway, anything Greek-sounding and I'm in!
Denise says
Aha! Great minds? Thanks, Helen!

These look amazing Denise! I love grilling skewers in the summer, it's so fun to do, and it always cooks the food in such a delicious, moist way! These look so tasty, and the yogurt sauce sounds like the perfect combo. Mmm!!

Food on a stick just tastes better, right? Thanks, Harriet Emily 😉

Gayle @ Pumpkin 'N Spice says
I totally think you should do a series on "Will it grill?" with the cookies being your first test subject! 🙂 These skewers look delicious, Denise! I love that they come together in just 30 minutes. I've never made a salmon skewer before, so I'm adding this to my recipe list!
Denise says
Yeah! I think I could make some cookies grill! Not directly on the grill but maybe on a pizza stone or a veggie grilling basket thingy...thanks, Gayle!
