Lemon and garlic fish skewers

Lemon and garlic fish skewers are a delicious and healthy choice for any meal. With the combination of fresh fish, juicy cherry tomatoes, and aromatic herbs, this dish promises to be both flavorful and nutritious. These skewers are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a weekend cookout.

Ingredients:

2 lb white fish
910g
2 cups cherry tomatoes
360g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
1 cup couscous
230g
1 tbsp butter
16g
1/4 cup fresh parsley
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper. Toss the white fish cubes in the marinade, making sure each piece is well-coated. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
2. Preheat Grill: If using an outdoor grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If using an indoor grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat on the stovetop.
3. Assemble Skewers: Thread the marinated fish cubes and cherry tomatoes alternately onto the skewers. Brush or spray lightly with cooking spray oil to prevent sticking.
4. Grill Skewers: Place the skewers on the preheated grill or grill pan. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the fish is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges. The cherry tomatoes should be blistered and soft.
5. Prepare Couscous: While the skewers are grilling, prepare the couscous according to package instructions. Typically, this involves bringing water to a boil, adding a pinch of salt, and the couscous. Remove from heat, cover, and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the couscous has absorbed all the water. Fluff with a fork.
6. Add Flavor to Couscous: Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter into the couscous, ensuring it's well-melted and mixed in. Add the chopped fresh parsley and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Serve: Plate the couscous as a bed on your serving dish. Lay the grilled fish and tomato skewers on top. Garnish with additional fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus.
8. Enjoy! Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and healthy Lemon and Garlic Fish Skewers with Couscous!

Tips:

- Choose a firm white fish like cod, haddock, or halibut for the best results.

- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning on the grill.

- Marinate the fish in lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.

- Use a cooking spray oil to lightly coat the grill or pan to prevent the skewers from sticking.

- Keep an eye on the cherry tomatoes as they can burst if overcooked; they should be slightly charred and soft.

- Serve the skewers over a bed of couscous cooked with butter and fresh parsley to absorb all the delicious juices.

These lemon and garlic fish skewers are both easy to prepare and delightful to eat. Paired with a simple, herb-infused couscous, this dish provides a balanced and tasty meal. Follow these tips and you'll have a light, flavorful, and satisfying dish that's sure to impress your family and friends.
