Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh white fish fillets (such as cod or halibut)
- 2 medium lemon
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces wooden skewers
Directions
Step 1
Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Step 2
Cut the white fish fillets into 1-inch cubes. Set aside in a bowl.
Step 3
Zest one lemon and set the zest aside. Squeeze the juice of the zested lemon over the fish cubes and toss to coat evenly.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, chopped fresh parsley, chopped fresh cilantro, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Add the lemon zest to the mixture.
Step 5
Pour the herb marinade over the fish cubes and gently toss to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover the bowl and let the fish marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
Step 6
While the fish is marinating, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Step 7
After marinating, thread the fish cubes onto the soaked skewers. Aim for about 4-5 pieces per skewer, leaving a bit of space between each piece.
Step 8
Cut the second lemon into wedges for serving.
Step 9
Place the fish skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 10
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot with lemon wedges.
