Ingredients:
- 1 pound of fresh fish fillets (salmon, snapper, or halibut)
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 red onion
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden skewers
Step 1: Prepare the Fish
Start by cutting the fish fillets into bite-sized cubes. Season them with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, mix olive oil and lemon juice. Brush the mixture over the fish cubes to marinate them for about 10 minutes.
Step 2: Chop the Vegetables
While the fish is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Cut the bell peppers and red onion into chunks that are similar in size to the fish cubes. This will allow for even cooking and make assembling the skewers easier.
Step 3: Assemble the Skewers
Take a wooden skewer and slide a piece of fish onto it, followed by a chunk of bell pepper and a piece of red onion. Repeat this process until the skewer is full, but ensure you leave some space on each end for easier handling. Repeat the process for the remaining skewers.
Step 4: Grill the Skewers
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and let them cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred. Be careful not to overcook the fish, as it can become dry.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Carefully remove the fish skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. You can garnish them with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for enhanced flavor. Serve the fish skewers hot, alongside a side of steamed rice or a refreshing salad.
