Extra Tilapia Recipe

Chicken Skewer

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   Marinate fish

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

4. 4

   Prepare vegetables

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

5. 5

   Thread skewers

   Thread tilapia chunks onto each skewer, alternating with pieces of red bell pepper and red onion as desired.

6. 6

   Cook skewers

   Preheat grill to medium-high heat or preheat broiler. Grill or broil skewers for about 6-8 minutes, turning once halfway, until fish is opaque and cooked through. If needed, brush with remaining marinade during the last minute.

7. 7

   Rest and serve

   Let skewers rest for 2-3 minutes off heat. Serve with lemon wedges and a side of greens or rice.
