Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 600 grams White fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or haddock)
- 1 large Lemon
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 15 grams Fresh parsley
- 10 grams Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 8 Wooden skewers
Instructions
Begin by soaking wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the fish into uniform 1-inch cubes.
Grate the zest of the lemon and juice it into a small bowl. Finely chop the garlic cloves, parsley, and thyme.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, chopped garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the fish cubes to the marinade, ensuring that they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, place it on the stovetop over medium-high heat until hot.
Thread the marinated fish cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish skewers from the grill and let rest for a minute before serving.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley and lemon wedges if desired. Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes.
