Ingredients
Scale
Fish
- 1 pound Swordfish Steaks (firm, pale pink to white flesh)
Marinade
- 3 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 bunch Fresh Herbs (chamomile, dill, or parsley)
Vegetables
- 3 cups Vegetables (Zucchini, Bell Peppers, Eggplant), cut into chunks
Other
- 1 pack Wooden Skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
- Prepare Skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
- Cut and Marinate Swordfish: Cut swordfish steaks into 1-inch cubes and place them in a bowl. Add lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and fresh herbs to marinate, mixing gently to coat evenly. Let sit while preparing vegetables.
- Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to high heat to ensure a nice sear and quick cooking.
- Assemble Kebabs: Thread the marinated swordfish cubes and prepared vegetable chunks alternately onto the soaked skewers.
- Grill Kebabs: Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally to brown all sides evenly and ensure the fish is cooked through but still moist.
- Serve: Remove kebabs from grill and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite dipping sauces or side dishes for a complete meal.
Notes
- Soaking wooden skewers is essential to avoid burning over the grill.
- Customize vegetables based on seasonal availability or preference for best flavor.
- Do not overcook the swordfish to keep it moist and tender.
- Fresh herbs like dill or parsley add brightness and enhance the fish’s natural flavor.
- Serve kebabs with a fresh salad or grilled bread for a well-rounded meal.
