Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Mahi Mahi fillet
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Red onion
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 8 Wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
Instructions
Cube the Mahi Mahi into 1.5-inch pieces and set aside.
Dice the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into similar-sized chunks (roughly 1-inch pieces).
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper.
Add the Mahi Mahi pieces to the marinade and gently toss to coat. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour.
While the fish marinates, prepare your skewers by alternating fish, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion until the skewer is filled. Leave a small amount of space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly grease the grates with oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the kebabs for about 2-3 minutes per side, rotating to cook evenly, until the fish is opaque and cooked through (internal temperature of 137°F to 145°F).
Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes.
Serve the Mahi Mahi kebabs warm with a side of rice, salad, or your favorite dipping sauce.
