Bite-Sized Salmon Tikka

Background and History:

Bite-Sized Salmon Tikka is a mouthwatering dish that finds its roots in the Indian subcontinent, where the tradition of marinating and grilling meats dates back centuries. Tikka, derived from the Persian word “tikke,” means “pieces” or “bits,” and in this recipe, succulent salmon is marinated, skewered, and grilled to perfection. It’s a delightful fusion of rich flavors and tender fish, perfect for both appetizers and main courses.
