👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    In a bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, cumin, salt and black pepper for the marinade.
    Bowl
  2. 2
    Add the fish cubes to the marinade, mix gently, cover and marinate in the fridge 30 minutes.
    Refrigerator
    💡The lemon in the marinade starts to "cook" the fish: marinate half an hour to an hour, no longer, or the cubes soften and fall apart on the skewer.
  3. 3
    Thread onto each skewer, alternating, a cube of the fish and a piece of the red pepper, green pepper and onion.

  4. 4
    Heat a grill to high.
    Gas grill
  5. 5
    Grill the skewers 3–4 minutes per side, turning gently once.
    Gas grill
    💡Large, even cubes stay juicy and don't fall off the skewer; turn only once the underside has browned and releases from the grate.
  6. 6
    Scatter the herbs on top.
  7. 7
    Serve hot with tahini and lemon.
