Double-pronged skewers give delicate, flaky proteins like salmon a bit more stability so they can be turned repeatedly without spinning around or falling apart. A soy sauce, mirin, and brown sugar glaze caramelizes on the fish and baby bok choy as it grills, and also serves as a dipping sauce.Slideshow: More Salmon Recipes

This was outstanding. I used salmon belly so I had to skewer it with just the green onions and skewer the bok choy separately. The salmon belly only took a minute or two on each side and it was melt in your mouth delicious. I brushed some of the marinade on the bok choy and cooked it until it had brown grill marks on both sides. Will definitely use regular salmon next time, the salmon belly was almost too rich. Also used this marinade on some fish collars which I also grilled with excellent results. Easy, efficient, and delicious.
