Souvlaki Salmon Skewers
1 ½poundssalmon filletscut into 1-inch cubes (if salmon has skin, leave it on, it will peel off easily after grilling)
1lemonsliced into 1/4 inch thick rounds
3bell pepperssliced into 1 inch pieces
1red onionsliced into 1 inch pieces
metal skewers8-10
salt and pepper
To Serve:

Instructions
Yogurt-Feta Sauce:
Place the feta cheese in a medium bowl. Mash with the back of a fork until it is in small, uniform crumbles. Add the remaining ingredients, and stir to combine.
Set aside.
Souvlaki Salmon Skewers:
Pre-heat barbecue over medium-high.
Assemble skewers with a mixture of salmon cubes, lemon slices, and bell pepper and onion pieces. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Spray barbecue with spray oil (don't be shy, you don't want the salmon to stick to the grill!).
Arrange the skewers on the grill, and cook with the lid down for 4 minutes.
Gently pry the skewers from the grill (the salmon may stick slightly, but should come off with a bit of teasing), and flip over. Put the lid down, and cook for another 4-6 minutes, until salmon is cooked through and flakes with a fork.
Serve immediately with pita bread and lemon wedges.
