How to make Marinated Salmon Skewers with Walnuts
Prepare the Onions
- Step 1
Peel the pearl onions and place them in a saucepan over low heat, covered with a bit of olive oil. Let them cook until softened.
Marinate the Salmon

Once the onions are soft, carefully drain them and set them aside for later. In the same warm oil, place the salmon cut into cubes (skin and bones removed), along with the lemon peel, dill, and salt. Let the salmon sit in the oil until it cools down.
Prepare the Walnuts
- Step 1
Crush the walnuts in a mortar until finely ground.
Assemble the Skewers
- Step 1
Coat the salmon cubes in the ground walnuts. Alternate the salmon cubes with the pearl onions and pieces of white asparagus on the skewers.
Make the Sauce

Mix all the sauce ingredients together: chopped pickles, capers, onion, hard-boiled egg, mayonnaise, and parsley.
