Fish Kabobs

 

Serves 4

 

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 pound fresh halibut, scrod, swordfish, salmon, or tuna steak, cut 1" thick

1/2 large red onion, cut lengthwise into quarters

1/2 green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 4 wedges

1/2 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 4 wedges

4 cherry tomatoes, stemmed

 

Instructions

Combine the oil, juice, and mustard in an 8" x 8" glass baking dish. Stir to blend. Cut the fish into sixteen 1" cubes. Add in one layer to the marinade. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 5–10 minutes. Turn the fish cubes to coat evenly and chill 5 minutes longer.

 

Preheat the broiler. Drain the fish cubes, reserving the marinade. Separate the onion layers slightly. Thread the fish and vegetables onto four skewers, alternating fish cubes with onions, peppers, and tomatoes. Brush the kabobs lightly with the reserved marinade.

 

Place the skewers on a broiler pan and broil 4" from the heat source, about 3 minutes. Turn the kabobs and brush again with the marinade. Broil for 3–4 minutes longer or until the fish is no longer translucent and the vegetables are tender-crisp.

 

Serve immediately.
