For even cooking, make sure to cut the salmon chunks uniformly. Soaking wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes will prevent them from burning on the grill.
Experiment with adding your favorite vegetables on the skewers, such as cherry tomatoes or red onion slices, for additional color and flavor.
