Combining the rich, savory flavors of teriyaki sauce with tender, marinated fish, these skewers are perfect for grilling or broiling.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, mix together the teriyaki sauce and minced garlic cloves.
- Place the fish chunks in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish.
- Pour the teriyaki sauce mixture over the fish, ensuring all pieces are well coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
- Marinate the fish in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a stronger flavor.
- If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat.
- If using a stovetop pan, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated fish chunks onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill or in the skillet.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- If using a grill, occasionally brush the skewers with any leftover marinade for extra flavor.
- Remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest for a minute.
- Serve the teriyaki fish skewers hot, either as an appetizer or with a side of rice and vegetables for a full meal.
Tips:
- For best flavor, marinate the fish in the teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using them to prevent burning.
- Use a firm white fish such as cod, halibut, or snapper to ensure the fish stays intact on the skewers.
- Preheat the grill or broiler to medium-high heat to cook the skewers evenly.
- Brush the skewers with olive oil before cooking to prevent sticking and add extra flavor.
- Rotate the skewers occasionally to ensure even cooking on all sides. The fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork when done.
- To add extra flavor, sprinkle chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions over the skewers before serving.
With minimal effort and maximum flavor, these teriyaki fish skewers are a fantastic addition to any meal plan. Whether you're hosting a barbecue or just looking for a tasty and healthy dinner option, these skewers are sure to impress. Enjoy them with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and nutritious meal.
