Chicken Skewer

Prepare skewers and fish
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20-30 minutes to prevent burning. Cut tilapia fillets into roughly 1.5-inch cubes and pat dry.

Make the marinade
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, chili flakes, salt, black pepper, and honey until well combined.

Marinate fish
Add tilapia cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Allow to marinate for 20-30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Prepare vegetables
Cut the red bell pepper and red onion into chunks roughly the same size as the fish cubes.
