Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or mahi-mahi)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Step 2
Cut fish fillets into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, dill, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix well, creating the marinade.
Step 4
Add the fish pieces to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Step 5
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Thread the marinated fish cubes onto the soaked skewers, dividing them equally among the skewers.
Step 7
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 8
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 9
Serve the grilled fish skewers with additional lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh herbs, if desired.
