HALIBUT KABOBS WITH ZUCCHINI AND GRAPE TOMATOES



Halibut Kabobs with Zucchini and Grape Tomatoes image

Provided by Dave Lieberman

Categories     appetizer

Time 52m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 medium zucchini, rinsed and ends trimmed
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
2 pounds halibut or other meaty whitefish suitable for grilling
1 1/2 pints grape tomatoes, rinsed
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 package 6 or 8-inch bamboo skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes

Steps:

  • Halve zucchini lengthwise and then cut into 1/2-inch slices. Pour about 3 to 4 tablespoons of olive oil into a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini and season generously with salt. Saute until zucchini starts to soften, but is not fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, cut the fish into 1-inch cubes for the kabobs and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the tomatoes and remaining olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and oregano. Toss until fish and tomatoes are well coated. Add zucchini once cooled.
  • Assemble skewers and pour the remaining marinade over them. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to grill. Skewers can be left to marinate for 30 minutes but no longer than 1 1/2 hours since the lemon juice will start to "cook" the fish.
  • Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Grill skewers and baste with remaining marinade, turning once after several minutes on the first side, until fish is just cooked through but not flaking apart, about 7 to 9 minutes total. Serve immediately.

Grilled Fish Kebabs with Cherry Tomatoes image

Two types of fish-flaky salmon and meaty swordfish-produce doubly delicious grilled kebabs. Thread the fish with the grain perpendicular to the skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water at least fifteen minutes to prevent them from scorching.

24 cherry tomatoes

1 cup packed fresh basil leaves
1 garlic clove
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Heat grill to high (see page 367 for instructions); lightly oil grates. Cut swordfish and salmon into 24 pieces each (about 1 1/2 inches); dividing evenly, thread fish against the grain on 8 skewers, alternating with cherry tomatoes. Brush bread slices on both sides with olive oil, and grill until lightly charred, about 2 minutes per side.
  • In a blender, puree basil, garlic, and the olive oil until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Reserve half.
  • Brush kebabs with basil oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until fish is opaque throughout and tomatoes are softened, 6 to 10 minutes. With a clean brush, coat kebabs with reserved basil oil. Serve immediately.

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.

  • Prepare the fish: Cut the fish into 1-inch cubes and season it with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. You can also marinate the fish for a few hours before grilling to add extra flavor.
  • Soak the skewers: Soak the wooden or metal skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help prevent them from burning.
  • Assemble the kabobs: Thread the fish cubes, cherry tomatoes, and any other desired vegetables onto the skewers. Make sure the kabobs are not too crowded, or they will not cook evenly.
  • Grill the kabobs: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the kabobs with olive oil and grill them for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through.
  • Serve immediately: Grilled fish kabobs are best served immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
