Ingredients

• 1 pound firm white fish (cod or halibut)
• 2 whole lemon
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 3 cloves garlic
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon pepper
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 medium bell pepper
• 1 medium red onion
• 8 pieces Skewers (wooden or metal)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the fish into 1-inch cubes and place in a large bowl.

Step 2

Zest and juice one of the lemons, then add both zest and juice to the bowl with the fish.

Step 3

Add olive oil, chopped dill, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix until the fish is well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

Step 4

While the fish is marinating, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent burning. If using metal skewers, skip this step.

Step 5

Chop the zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion into 1-inch pieces.

Step 6

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the fish cubes, zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion alternately onto the skewers.

Step 8

Slice the second lemon into thick rounds and grill separately to use as garnish.

Step 9

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 10

Remove from grill and serve immediately, garnishing with grilled lemon slices.
