I. Introduction

Marinated fish chunks skewered with vegetables and grilled for a light, smoky, and flavorful dish. This Easy Fish Kebab Recipe provides a healthy and delicious way to enjoy seafood, perfect for outdoor gatherings or a quick weeknight meal.

II. Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs firm white fish (tuna, swordfish, or salmon), cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp calamansi juice or lemon juice
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 large onion, cut into chunks
  • 1 zucchini, cut into chunks
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • Wooden or metal skewers

III. Equipment

  • Metal or wooden skewers
  • Grill or grill pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring spoons

IV. Instructions

  1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  2. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, calamansi juice, garlic, olive oil, and black pepper to make the marinade.
  3. Cut fish into uniform 1-inch cubes and vegetables into similar sizes.
  4. Mix fish with the marinade and let sit for 15-20 minutes (don’t marinate too long as acid can affect fish texture).
  5. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  6. Thread fish and vegetables alternately onto skewers, leaving small spaces between pieces.
  7. Brush kebabs lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
  8. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side until fish is opaque and flakes easily.
  9. Serve hot with rice and dipping sauce.

V. Tips

Use thick fish pieces to prevent falling apart; brush with oil while grilling. Choose firm fish that won’t fall apart during cooking. Don’t overcrowd the skewers to ensure even cooking. For best results, use a fish with a firm texture like tuna, swordfish, or salmon. Marinate for a short time only as acids can cook the fish if left too long.

VI. Serving

With dipping sauce (soy-calamansi) and rice. These colorful kebabs are perfect for outdoor gatherings and pair well with fresh salads or grilled vegetables. The light, smoky flavors make them a great option for those who enjoy seafood but want something different from the usual fried or steamed preparations.

VII. Storage

Best served immediately; not ideal for leftovers. If you do have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Note that reheating fish can cause it to become dry and lose its texture, so it’s best enjoyed fresh. Reheat gently if necessary.
