Broiled Halibut Kabobs Food

HALIBUT KABOBS WITH ZUCCHINI AND GRAPE TOMATOES

Steps:

• Halve zucchini lengthwise and then cut into 1/2-inch slices. Pour about 3 to 4 tablespoons of olive oil into a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini and season generously with salt. Saute until zucchini starts to soften, but is not fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, cut the fish into 1-inch cubes for the kabobs and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the tomatoes and remaining olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and oregano. Toss until fish and tomatoes are well coated. Add zucchini once cooled.
• Assemble skewers and pour the remaining marinade over them. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to grill. Skewers can be left to marinate for 30 minutes but no longer than 1 1/2 hours since the lemon juice will start to "cook" the fish.
• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Grill skewers and baste with remaining marinade, turning once after several minutes on the first side, until fish is just cooked through but not flaking apart, about 7 to 9 minutes total. Serve immediately.

BROILED HALIBUT WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Brush broiler rack with a little olive oil.
• Lightly sprinkle halibut with salt and pepper.
• Combine melted butter with garlic, chopped parsley, if using, and herb seasoning blend.

• Place on broiler rack. Broil for about 10 to 14 minutes, depending on thickness, turning once about halfway through.
• Serve this halibut with potatoes or rice, spinach, or another green vegetable. If desired, serve with a creamy sauce. The recipe is very easy to scale down for two people. Use 2 fillets, a small clove of garlic, about 1 1/2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of parsley along with a little less seasoning.

• Heat one tbsp olive oil in heavy small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and chili; sauté until fragrant and lightly golden, about 3 minutes.

• Reduce heat to medium and simmer until reduced to 3/4 cup.
• Remove bbq sauce from heat, and whisk in sesame oil. Transfer 1/4 cup bbq sauce to small bowl and reserve for serving.

TURKISH-SPICED HALIBUT SKEWERS WITH YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut halibut into large chunks of equal size and thread onto skewers. You should have 4 kebabs weighing about 6 ounces each. Lay them in a shallow dish. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
• In a mixing bowl, put cumin, coriander, paprika, red pepper flakes, onion, lemon, minced garlic and bay leaves. Add olive oil and stir together. Spoon mixture over fish skewers and leave to marinate for at least 1 hour.
• Put yogurt in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then add garlic paste, cayenne and cucumber. Mix mint, dill and parsley together, add half to yogurt mixture, and reserve the rest. Stir to combine. Set aside.
• Heat a grill or broiler. When it is hot, cook skewers for about 2 minutes per side, until just opaque. (Leave some lemon, onion and bay leaf clinging to fish, so they char a bit.) Transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with remaining herb mixture. Serve with yogurt sauce on the side.
