It is usually difficult for people to identify me as a Bengali (I was born and brought up in Bihar), based upon my mannerisms. But my love for maach & mishti (fish & sweets) is perhaps the strongest trait I possess, which makes it easier for others to identify my true lineage. Fish naturally arouses my Bengali instincts and I can barely resist Ilish, Rohu or Katla (a variety of freshwater Bengali fish) served on the table. But I'm not that lucky to pass on the similar traits to my kiddos, which may be because of the unavailability of freshwater fish, here in the States. Also, they are too lazy to eat fish on the bone, which I'm looking forward to developing in the coming years. That's why nowadays I've been trying to make different delicacies with the locally available boneless fish fillets, which they seem to enjoy a lot.

Salmon kebab is one of them and is much loved after school snack for my kids (of course, because it is boneless). Rich in omega 3, I always prefer fish over lamb or chicken. Crisp from outside, soft and full of fish flavor from inside makes it most enjoyable for the kids. I have used salmon here, you can use any boneless fish fillet to make this kebab. Since I wanted to make it SCD friendly, I didn't add breadcrumbs or potato but if you’re not on a strict diet you can go ahead and add either one of them. Do give a try making this delightful bite and let me know how they turned. Enjoy!!
