Ingredients

• 500 grams Firm white fish fillets (e.g., cod, halibut)
• 2 medium Red bell peppers
• 1 medium Red onion
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 8 skewers Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the fish fillets into bite-sized chunks, approximately 1.5-inch cubes, and set aside.

Step 2

Wash and deseed the red bell peppers, then cut them into similar-sized chunks as the fish. Peel and cut the red onion into wedges or chunks.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 4

Add the fish chunks to the marinade, gently tossing to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 5

While the fish marinates, preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Assemble the kebabs by threading the marinated fish, red bell pepper pieces, and red onion chunks alternately onto the soaked skewers. Leave a small space between each piece to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Brush the grill grates with a little olive oil to prevent sticking, then place the skewers on the hot grill.

Step 8

Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are slightly charred.

Step 9

Once cooked, transfer the kebabs to a serving platter and sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.

Step 10

Serve immediately with a side of rice, salad, or your favorite dipping sauce.
