Suya-spiced Salmon

Staff Favorite African Heritage Diet Main Course Dinner Gluten Free

Suya typically refers to the skewers of grilled meats sold by street vendors across West Africa. It also refers to the peanut-based spice blend used to season the meats. You can enjoy these same flavors at home by making your own suya spice blend and using it to season salmon (or any other type of fish) to your liking. Feel free to adjust the amount of hot pepper to your taste preferences.
