Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or mahi-mahi)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Cut fish fillets into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, dill, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix well, creating the marinade.
Add the fish pieces to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated fish cubes onto the soaked skewers, dividing them equally among the skewers.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the grilled fish skewers with additional lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh herbs, if desired.
