Moroccan fish skewers are a delicious and aromatic dish featuring a blend of spices that are characteristic of Moroccan cuisine. These skewers are perfect for a healthy and flavorful meal that can be enjoyed any time of the year. The combination of black pepper, paprika, turmeric powder, and dried coriander enhances the taste of white fish, making each bite a flavorful experience.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the fish under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Cut the fish into bite-sized pieces (about 1–1.5 inches each).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the black pepper, paprika, turmeric powder, and dried coriander.
- Add the fish pieces to the bowl and toss them well to evenly coat with the spice mixture.
- Let the fish marinate for at least 15-30 minutes to allow the spices to penetrate the fish. If you have more time, you can marinate the fish for up to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- Thread the marinated fish pieces onto the skewers, making sure they are tightly packed but with enough space for even cooking.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Ensure that it is well oiled to prevent the fish from sticking.
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill.
- Cook the fish skewers for about 2-3 minutes per side, turning them occasionally, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Total cooking time should be around 8-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish pieces.
- Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve the Moroccan fish skewers hot, garnished with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley if desired. These skewers pair well with couscous, rice, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning during cooking.
- Cut the fish into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Marinate the fish for at least 30 minutes to allow the spices to penetrate and enhance the flavor.
- Grill the skewers on medium heat to avoid overcooking and drying out the fish.
- Serve the skewers with a fresh salad, rice, or couscous for a balanced meal.
With a blend of aromatic spices and tender white fish, these Moroccan fish skewers are perfect for a quick and nutritious meal. Whether you are hosting a barbecue or looking for a weeknight dinner, this recipe is sure to impress your guests and family.
