Greek Fish Kebabs
Greek Fish Kebabs are fish skewers with firm white cod and cherry tomatoes, grilled with a Mediterranean flare; with dill, olives, and lemon! Makes 4-6 kebabs.
Ingredients
- 2 lb. cod, or other white fish (like swordfish or halibut)
- Lemon wedges
- Fresh dill, roughly chopped
- ¼ cup Kalamata olives, chopped
- 12 cherry tomatoes
Marinade:
- ½ c parsley, roughly chopped
- 1 Tbsp marjoram
- 1 Tbsp fresh rosemary, roughly chopped
- 3 medium cloves garlic, peeled and microplaned
- 1 ½ lemons, juiced, zest from 1 lemon
- 1 tsp. honey or sugar
- 2 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- ¾ cup avocado or grapeseed oil
- 4 large skewers, about 10-12’’, soaked in water
- Vegetable or canola oil to coat grill grates
Equipment
Instructions
- Soak skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
- Rinse and pat dry your cod fillets. Cut into 18 even chunks. Set aside.
Make marinade:
- In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients for the marinade: parsley, marjoram, rosemary, garlic, lemon juice and zest, honey, salt, cumin, and avocado oil. Whisk to combine, then add fish pieces to the bowl and toss to coat. Allow fish to marinate for 15-20 minutes.
- After fish has marinated, thread 1 piece of fish onto a soaked skewer, followed by a cherry tomato, a cod piece, another cherry tomato, and a final fish piece—in total, each skewer should have 3 pieces of fish and 2 cherry tomatoes. Repeat until all fish is used.
- Heat grill to about 375 degrees. Oil the grates well with an oiled rag. Place fish onto grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side. If desired, brush or drizzle the remaining marinade onto the fish at the beginning of the grilling process.
- When fish is cooked and just beginning to flake, carefully transfer to a platter. Garnish with fresh dill, olives, and lemon.
