Ingredients
-
8 ounces fresh or frozen skinless salmon fillets, cut 3/4 to 1 inch thick (thawed, if frozen)
-
8 ounces fresh or frozen sea scallops (thawed, if frozen)
-
1/4 cup pineapple juice
-
2 tablespoons lemon juice
-
1 tablespoon snipped fresh tarragon or 1 teaspoon dried tarragon, crushed
-
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
2 medium zucchini, sliced 1/2 inch thick
-
1 medium red or green sweet pepper, cut into 1-inch squares
-
1/2 of a fresh pineapple, cut into chunks, or one 16-ounce can pineapple chunks, drained
-
Fresh tarragon (optional)
Directions
1.
Thaw salmon and scallops, if frozen. Cut salmon into 1-inch cubes.
2.
For marinade, combine pineapple juice, lemon juice, tarragon, mustard, and salt. Place salmon and scallops in plastic bag set into a shallow dish. Add marinade; seal bag. Turn fish and scallops to coat well. Chill for 1 to 2 hours, turning once. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan cook zucchini, covered, in a small amount of boiling water for 3 to 4 minutes or until nearly tender. Drain and cool. Cut sweet pepper into 1-inch pieces.
3.
Remove seafood from bag, reserving marinade. On eight metal skewers alternately thread salmon, scallops, zucchini, sweet pepper, and pineapple. Brush with marinade. Grill on an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 8 to 12 minutes or until scallops turn opaque and salmon flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning once. Garnish with fresh tarragon, if desired. Makes 4 servings.
To grill by indirect heat
Arrange preheated coals around a drip pan in a covered grill. Test for medium heat above pan. Place skewers on grill over drip pan. Cover and grill for 8 to 10 minutes or until scallops turn opaque and salmon flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Herbed Scallop Kebabs
Grilled under a watchful eye to avoid overcooking, these skewers are a snap to prepare. A light lemon-and-herb marinade allows the sweet, succulent flavor of the scallops to shine. Be sure to purchase sea scallops, which are a good size for kebabs.
