Wateroptional to thin sauce to desired consistency
Instructions
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 1 hour prior to using. Alternately, use metal skewers.
Add all ingredients for the teriyaki sauce (except the water) to a blender, and process for 3-4 minutes, until the mixture is very smooth.
Add the teriyaki sauce to a small saucepan, and bring to a low boil. Allow to simmer for 1-2 minutes to thicken. If the mixture becomes too thick, thin to desired consistency with water (1-2 tablespoons should be enough).
Add salmon, onion, and peppers alternating to 4 skewers.Use a brush or a spoon to spread teriyaki sauce on the salmon, reserving some for dipping.
Add pineapple, onion and peppers alternating to 4 skewers.
Grill the skewers over high heat for 4-6 minutes on one side, flip, and cook for 4-6 minutes on the other side, or until desired doneness.
Serve skewers with a simple zoodle salad.
