Ingredients

• 4 pieces firm white fish fillets
• 1 large lemon
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 pieces skewers

Directions

Step 1

Cut the firm white fish fillets into 1-inch cubes, ensuring they're about even in size for consistent cooking.

Step 2

Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes if using wooden skewers to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Step 3

Grate the zest of 1 large lemon and squeeze its juice into a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Finely chop 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley and 2 tablespoons of fresh dill and add them to the bowl.

Step 5

Peel and mince 2 cloves of garlic before adding them to the mixing bowl.

Step 6

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper to the bowl and whisk to combine everything into a marinade.

Step 7

Add the fish cubes to the bowl and gently toss to coat each piece thoroughly with the lemon herb marinade. Let it marinate for 15-20 minutes.

Step 8

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Step 9

Thread the marinated fish pieces onto the skewers, ensuring there is some space between each piece so they cook evenly.

Step 10

Once the grill is hot, place the skewers on the grill grates and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 11

Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve the skewers warm with your favorite summer salad or whole grain as a side.
