Ingredients

• 1 lb Halibut fillet
• 2 large Red bell peppers
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 whole Lime
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 2

Cut the halibut fillet into 1.5-inch cubes, ensuring they are evenly sized for consistent cooking.

Step 3

Deseed and cut the red bell peppers into 1.5-inch squares to match the size of the halibut pieces.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, minced garlic, juice of half a lime, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, toss the halibut cubes and red pepper pieces with the prepared olive oil mixture until fully coated.

Step 6

Thread the halibut cubes and red bell pepper squares alternately onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece for uniform cooking.

Step 7

In a separate small bowl, prepare the chili lime sauce by whisking together the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, juice of the other half of the lime, honey, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Set aside.

Step 8

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the peppers are tender and slightly charred.

Step 10

Transfer the cooked skewers to a serving platter and drizzle with the prepared chili lime sauce.

Step 11

Garnish with additional lime wedges for squeezing, if desired, and serve immediately.
