Servings: 4

Ingredients

Skewers
8-10, soaked in water if wooden
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste
Fresh basil
1/4 cup, chopped
Garlic
2 cloves, minced
Lemon juice
2 tablespoons
Olive oil
1/4 cup
Cherry tomatoes
2 cups, halved
Halibut fillets
1 pound, cut into 1-inch cubes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped basil, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
  3. Thread the halibut cubes and cherry tomato halves onto the skewers, alternating between the two for a beautiful presentation.
  4. Brush the assembled skewers generously with the marinade mixture, ensuring they are well-coated for maximum flavor.
  5. Place the skewers on the grill or under the broiler and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the halibut is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the tomatoes are slightly charred.
  6. Once cooked, remove the skewers from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to settle.
  7. Serve the skewers hot, garnished with additional fresh basil for an extra pop of flavor and color.
