Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound firm white fish (e.g., halibut, cod, or mahi-mahi)
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 medium zucchini
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
Cut the fish into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Chop the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini into similarly sized 1-inch pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the cubed fish and chopped vegetables in a large bowl. Pour the marinade over them and gently toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat the grill or a grill pan to medium heat.
Thread the marinated fish and vegetables onto the wooden skewers, alternating pieces for a colorful presentation.
Grill the kabobs for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the fish is opaque and the vegetables are slightly charred and tender.
Serve immediately with a side of fresh lemon wedges, if desired, for an extra zesty touch.
