Swordfish Shishlik

Method

Swordfish Shishlik

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Swordfish

    Cut the swordfish fillets into 1-inch cubes. Add the swordfish to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the swordfish is marinating, cut the bell peppers and red onion into chunks suitable for skewering.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Skewers

    After marinating, thread the swordfish, bell peppers, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating between them.

  5. 5

    Grill the Skewers

    Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the swordfish is cooked through and the vegetables are slightly charred.

Agristada Herb Salad

  1. 6

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped parsley, cilantro, mint, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.

  2. 7

    Add Dressing

    In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 8

    Combine and Serve

    Pour the dressing over the herb salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately alongside the swordfish shishlik.
