Bamboo skewers work well for microwaved kabobs. Thread skewers through the flesh rather than the tough skin of the fish. Here we suggest zucchini and green pepper for alternating with salmon, but other favorite vegetables that cook quickly and thread easily can be substituted.

HONEY-GINGER SALMON KABOBS

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon hoisin sauce

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

1 teaspoon olive oil

6 oz. fresh salmon fillet

2 medium zucchini

1/2 green bell pepper, cubed

About 4 bamboo skewers

1. Combine honey, hoisin sauce, ginger and olive oil in small dish. Set aside.

2. Cut salmon and zucchini into 1-inch pieces. Alternately thread salmon, zucchini and green pepper on bamboo skewers. Place on microwave-safe plate. Brush with honey mixture. Cover lightly.

3. MICROWAVE (60 to 70%) for 3 to 4 minutes or until vegetables are tender and salmon flakes easily with fork. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

About 2 Servings

TIPS · About 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger can be used for fresh.

>Store extra ginger in air-tight container in freezer. Grate unpeeled if desired.

>If some salmon is very thin, fold pieces before skewering so it will not overcook.
