Health benefits of Saucy BBQ Seafood Skewers with Not-So Secret BBQ Sauce

Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for reducing inflammation and promoting cardiovascular health. It is also rich in vitamin D, which helps regulate insulin levels and improve mood, both of which are important for managing PCOS symptoms. Additionally, salmon provides a good amount of B vitamins, particularly B12, which supports energy production and helps maintain healthy nerve function. Including salmon in your diet can help balance hormones, reduce inflammation, and support overall well-being. Apple cider vinegar will improve your body's sensitivity to insulin (Reference: http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/27/1/281.full)

Ingredients

Sauce
1/4 cup canned tomato sauce
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 teaspoons brown sugar (not packed)
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Skewers
6 ounces large raw sea scallops
4 ounces raw Atlantic salmon
4 ounces large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails removed)
8 to 10 cherry tomatoes
1 zucchini
Special equipment: Wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Instructions

For the sauce: Combine the tomato sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic powder, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Set aside.
For the skewers: Cut scallops into halves or quarters, so that they are just slightly larger than the shrimp. Cut salmon and zucchini into chunks approximately the same size as the scallops.
Place all the vegetables and seafood onto 4 skewers, alternating their order.
Bring a grill or grill pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Add skewers and cook until seafood begins to turn opaque on top, about 5 minutes.
Flip skewers and cook until all seafood is cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes.
Drizzle or brush sauce over skewers immediately after removing them from heat.
