Teriyaki fish skewers are a delightful and healthy option for a quick and delicious meal. Combining the rich, savory flavors of teriyaki sauce with tender, marinated fish, these skewers are perfect for grilling or broiling. This recipe uses simple ingredients and is easy to prepare, making it an excellent choice for weeknight dinners or outdoor gatherings.
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.
