The fish skewers should be grilled for about 8-10 minutes on medium-high heat. Make sure to turn them occasionally until the fish is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and has an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). The cherry tomatoes should be blistered and soft.
Yes, you can use frozen fish, but it's important to thaw it completely before marinating and skewering to ensure even cooking.
A standard grill pan that is large enough to fit all the skewers without overcrowding would work best. Ensure it's preheated over medium-high heat for even cooking.
You can substitute white fish with salmon, shrimp, or any firm fish like swordfish or tuna. Adjust cooking times as needed, especially for seafood like shrimp.
- 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.
