How to Make Grilled Fish On Skewers

  1. In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 1.5 lbs firm white fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or sea bass), cut into 1.5-inch pieces, to the marinade. Ensure all pieces are thoroughly coated.
  3. Marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator, stirring occasionally. For even more flavor, marinate overnight!
  4. Thread the marinated fish onto four skewers.
  5. Preheat your grill or broiler to high heat. Place the skewers on the hot grill or under the broiler.
  6. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Do not overcook!
  7. Serve immediately with a fresh green salad and enjoy your Moroccan culinary adventure!
