Ingredients

• 1 lb Mahi Mahi fillet
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Red onion
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Ground cumin
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
• 8 Wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes

Directions

Step 1

Cube the Mahi Mahi into 1.5-inch pieces and set aside.

Step 2

Dice the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into similar-sized chunks (roughly 1-inch pieces).

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 4

Add the Mahi Mahi pieces to the marinade and gently toss to coat. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour.

Step 5

While the fish marinates, prepare your skewers by alternating fish, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion until the skewer is filled. Leave a small amount of space between each piece to ensure even cooking.

Step 6

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly grease the grates with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Grill the kebabs for about 2-3 minutes per side, rotating to cook evenly, until the fish is opaque and cooked through (internal temperature of 137°F to 145°F).

Step 8

Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes.

Step 9

Serve the Mahi Mahi kebabs warm with a side of rice, salad, or your favorite dipping sauce.
