Ingredients

• 500 grams fish fillets (such as cod or halibut)
• 60 ml lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium red bell pepper, cubed
• 1 medium zucchini, sliced
• 12 pieces cherry tomatoes
• 8 pieces wooden skewers, soaked in water

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cutting the fish fillets into 2-inch cubes. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the fish cubes to the marinade, making sure each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 4

While the fish is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Cube the red bell pepper, slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch rounds, and keep cherry tomatoes whole.

Step 5

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Thread the marinated fish cubes, bell pepper, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating ingredients as desired.

Step 7

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Turn skewers occasionally to ensure even grilling.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove skewers from the grill and serve immediately. Enjoy as they are or with a side of steamed rice or salad for a complete meal.
