Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 1h58m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (12-ounce) center-cut, skinless salmon steak, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 20 pieces)
1 (12-ounce) center-cut, skinless halibut steak, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 20 pieces)
1 (12-ounce) skinless tuna steak, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 20 pieces)
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 large lemon, zested and juiced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Kebobs: Put the salmon, halibut and tuna in a resealable plastic bag. In a medium bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour the oil mixture over the fish and seal the bag. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Thread each skewer with 2 pieces of salmon, 2 pieces of halibut and 2 pieces of tuna, alternating the fish on the skewers.

Fold the plastic over the butter and form it into a log, about 4-inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Refrigerate until firm, about for 1 hour. Slice the butter into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick slices and transfer them to a plate.
  • Put a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Season the fish with salt and pepper, to taste, and grill the skewers until opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Arrange the skewers on a platter and serve the butter alongside.

BAKU FISH KEBABS



Baku Fish Kebabs image

In her new cookbook, "Taste of Persia," Naomi Duguid gives this simple recipe from Azerbaijan for fish kebabs marinated with lemon juice and dill. To serve, the fish is sprinkled with tart sumac powder, available in most spice shops or online, and served with a fresh pomegranate relish. Cooking the fish mostly on the skin side keeps it moist.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     seafood, skewers and kebabs, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup pomegranate seeds
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
2 pounds skin-on fish fillets, such as Alaskan black cod or sturgeon
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt, plus more for sprinkling
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
2 or 3 scallions, thinly sliced
2 medium tomatoes, sliced, optional
1 tablespoon sumac powder

Steps:

  • To make relish, put pomegranate seeds in heavy bowl and mash with a pestle or wooden spoon to release some juices. Add salt and lemon juice, stir and set aside for about 30 minutes. Wait until just before serving to add chopped cilantro.
  • Slice the fish fillets crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-wide pieces and lay them in a shallow dish. Mix together lemon juice, dill, salt and olive oil and pour mixture over fish. Flip the fish in the marinade to coat well and set aside for 30 minutes or so.
  • Heat a charcoal or gas grill to medium, and place the grill rack about 5 inches above the coals or flame.
  • Thread the fish slices on skewers with the skin side down. Place fish skin side down on rack and grill for 10 minutes, then flip and cook other side until just done, another 4 minutes or so.
  • Transfer fish to a platter and garnish with onions, scallions and tomato slices, if using. Spoon some pomegranate relish over fish. Sprinkle everything lightly with salt and then generously with sumac powder.

FISH SKEWERS WITH HERBS AND LIME



Fish Skewers With Herbs and Lime image

In this simple, speedy recipe, meaty cubes of fish are marinated with fish sauce and red-pepper flakes, then lined up on skewers and grilled until seared at their corners, but still juicy and tender inside. Topped with herbs and lime juice, it's a minimalist take that lets the flavors of good, fresh fish shine through. If you have a fish basket and would rather line up the cubes inside that, go right ahead. Just watch it carefully and adjust the cooking time if needed. If you're looking to add a sauce, this is lovely served with some garlic-spiked yogurt on the side.

Categories     seafood, skewers and kebabs, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 garlic cloves, finely grated, pressed or minced
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound thick, dense fish steaks, such as tuna or swordfish, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
Lime wedges, for serving
2 scallions, white and green parts, trimmed and thinly sliced
1/3 cup chopped dill, mint, parsley, cilantro or a combination

Steps:

  • Heat the grill to high. In a mixing bowl, combine garlic, fish sauce and red-pepper flakes. Whisk in oil. Add fish cubes and gently toss to evenly coat. Let marinate while the grill heats up.
  • Thread marinated fish onto metal or pre-soaked bamboo skewers (see Tip), pushing them up so they touch. This keeps them from overcooking.
  • When the grill is hot, lightly brush the grates with oil and add the skewers. Cook until slightly charred in places, about 2 to 4 minutes, rotating them carefully halfway through.
  • Transfer to a serving platter, and immediately squeeze 2 or 3 lime wedges on top of the fish while still hot. Garnish fish with scallions and herbs, and serve with more lime wedges on the side.
