Ingredients

• 500 grams White fish fillet (e.g., cod, halibut, or tilapia)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder (optional, for heat)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 medium Red onion, cut into chunks
• 1 medium Bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 12 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, chili powder (if using), salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 4

Pour the marinade over the fish cubes, add the chopped parsley and cilantro, and gently toss to coat the fish evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors infuse.

Step 5

Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables. Cut the red onion and bell pepper into bite-sized chunks and set them aside along with the cherry tomatoes.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Assemble the kebabs by threading fish pieces, onion chunks, bell pepper pieces, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers. Alternate the ingredients for a colorful presentation.

Step 8

Lightly oil the grill grates or line a baking sheet with parchment paper if using the oven.

Step 9

Place the kebabs on the grill or baking sheet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the fish is opaque and cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.

Step 10

Serve the fish kebabs hot with a side of rice, salad, or flatbread, and enjoy your flavorful meal!
