Take every opportunity to grill before it gets too cold! These Pesto Salmon Kebabs are a great option to just regular grilled salmon. I got so tired of grilled salmon for a while that I couldn't eat it, but these are very flavorful and also easy to make, so now I'm back to eating salmon once a week.
