Ingredients

• 1 pound firm white fish fillets (such as cod or halibut)
• 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 2

Cut the fish fillets into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 3

In a bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, dill, lemon zest, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 4

Place the fish cubes into a large resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the fish. Ensure all pieces are well coated.

Step 5

Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Step 6

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

Step 7

Thread the marinated fish cubes onto the soaked skewers, dividing evenly among the skewers.

Step 8

Grill the fish skewers for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve the grilled fish skewers hot with a side of your favorite Whole30 compliant salad or grilled vegetables.
