Calories: 240kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound halibut, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 bell peppers, cut into wedges
- 2 zucchini or yellow squash, cut into 1 inch circles
- 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
- 1/2 cup pesto
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a bowl and toss to combine.
- Preheat oven broiler or grill to high heat.
- Place vegetables and fish on skewers. If using wooden skewers soak in water for 30 minutes to avoid burning or wrap exposed part of skewers with aluminum foil.
- Cook skewers under broiler or on grill for 6 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Serve.
Notes
- No halibut, no problem: While this recipe highlights halibut, you could really use any fish or other protein you prefer or have on hand! I’ve make these skewers with cod, salmon, tofu, chicken and even shrimp! You just have to adjust the cooking time to the protein you’re using.
- Use what veggies you on hand: If you have some vegetables in your refrigerator or even in your garden that you’re looking to use, this is a great recipe for them. The recipe card has our favorite veggies, but feel free to adjust what vegetables you use to your preferences.
- Nut allergy? A lot of people with nut allergies can’t have traditional pesto because of the pine nuts, but don’t fret! You can make this delicious Hemp Seed Pesto instead and still enjoy this fantastic recipe.
