Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams White fish fillet (e.g., cod, halibut, or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder (optional, for heat)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 medium Red onion, cut into chunks
- 1 medium Bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 12 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Cut the fish fillet into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, chili powder (if using), salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the fish cubes, add the chopped parsley and cilantro, and gently toss to coat the fish evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors infuse.
Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables. Cut the red onion and bell pepper into bite-sized chunks and set them aside along with the cherry tomatoes.
Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
Assemble the kebabs by threading fish pieces, onion chunks, bell pepper pieces, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers. Alternate the ingredients for a colorful presentation.
Lightly oil the grill grates or line a baking sheet with parchment paper if using the oven.
Place the kebabs on the grill or baking sheet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the fish is opaque and cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.
Serve the fish kebabs hot with a side of rice, salad, or flatbread, and enjoy your flavorful meal!
