Best Grilled Fish Kebabs With Cherry Tomatoes Recipes

GRILLED FISH KEBOBS WITH PARSLEY AND GARLIC BUTTER

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.
• Butter: In a small bowl, mix together the butter, garlic and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer the butter to the center of a 6-inch-square piece of plastic wrap. 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.

GRILLED SALMON KEBABS WITH KALE TABBOULEH

Steps:

• Cook the bulgur as the label directs. Meanwhile, toss the kale, tomatoes, scallions, mint, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 4 teaspoons olive oil in a large bowl. Fluff the bulgur and stir into the kale mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate while you prepare the kebabs.
• Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Whisk the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, the cumin and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the salmon chunks, tossing well to coat. Thread the salmon onto 8 skewers. (If using wooden skewers, soak them in water first for about 20 minutes.) Oil the grill grates; grill the kebabs, turning, until the fish is opaque, 6 to 8 minutes.
• While the fish cooks, stir together the yogurt, cucumber and remaining lemon juice (about 1 tablespoon); season with salt and pepper. Divide the tabbouleh and salmon kebabs among plates; serve with the yogurt sauce and lemon wedges.

SWORDFISH, BACON, AND CHERRY TOMATO KEBABS

Steps:

• Prepare grill.
• Cut swordfish into 1-inch pieces and in a shallow dish toss with garlic, lemon juice, and oil to coat. Marinate swordfish, covered and chilled, 20 minutes.
• In a skillet cook bacon over moderate heat until pale golden but still soft and transfer to paper towels to drain, reserving fat.
• Thread swordfish, bacon, and tomatoes onto four 10-inch skewers. Brush kebabs with some of reserved fat and grill on an oiled rack set about 6 inches over glowing coals 3 to 4 minutes. Turn kebabs and grill 3 to 4 minutes more, or until swordfish is just cooked through.
• Serve kebabs with lemon wedges.

GRILLED VEGETABLE AND SWORDFISH KEBABS

Steps:

• For the kebabs: Whisk together the olive oil, garlic, ginger, lemon zest and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Put the swordfish in a large bowl. Put the peppers, onions, zucchini and tomatoes in another large bowl. Evenly divide the olive oil mixture between the two bowls and toss to coat. Cover and let marinate for about 30 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature.
• For the garlic aioli: Meanwhile, whisk together the lemon juice, mayonnaise, cilantro, parsley, garlic, mustard, vinegar and hot sauce in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• When the fish and vegetables are ready, preheat a grill over medium-high heat. (If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling.)
• Meanwhile, thread the swordfish onto six 12-inch skewers. Thread the peppers, onions, zucchini and tomatoes onto individual skewers.
• Brush the grill grates with oil. Place the kebabs on the grill, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and grill until lightly charred and grill-marked and the swordfish is cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• To serve, spread 1 to 2 teaspoons of garlic aioli on top of each pita. Place the swordfish and vegetables on top, drizzle with more garlic aioli, and sprinkle with cilantro and parsley.

GRILLED FISH KEBABS WITH CHERRY TOMATOES

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.
