Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound firm white fish fillets (such as cod or halibut)
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 wooden skewers
Instructions
Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut the fish fillets into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, dill, lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the fish cubes into a large resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the fish. Ensure all pieces are well coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
Thread the marinated fish cubes onto the soaked skewers, dividing evenly among the skewers.
Grill the fish skewers for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the grilled fish skewers hot with a side of your favorite Whole30 compliant salad or grilled vegetables.
